any suggestions - 5 channel amp 200w + POWER (1 Viewer)

[John Meringolo]

I AM LOOKING FOR AN AMP , AS STATED , WITH 200 W/CH OR BETTER INTO 4ohm . I ALWAYS USED RECEIVERS BUT I WANT TO MOVE TO SEPERATES . WHAT DO YOU LIKE ?

 

[Christian Speights]

Well, you have some options in that category...what is your budget? what speakers are you planning to drive with it? With a little more information I think the folks on the forum can steer you in the right direction.
My nomination? This one:

It can be configured as a 5 channel amp that runs 400 watts at 4 ohms. Gonna cost you though. About six grand I believe. That's where budget info makes things more helpful.
I am sure more suggestions will follow.

John,

switch off the CAPS, please. In Inet world CAPS = shouting. No need for it here.

5 chan amp 200+ ? Hm... you can look at offers from Rotel, Paradigm, ATI; also Bryston, Theta, etc.

Maybe you can tell us a little more - first what type/size/shape of romm you have; then waht speakers and so on. Usually it is smart to start from speakers and go way back to sources... saves lot of money.

I've really enjoyed my Sherbourn 5/1500 (now replaced by the 5/1500a), which is 200 watts X 5 into 8 ohms, 300 watts into 4 ohms. Check the AV Science website. I got mine for $1365.00.

I also have a Sherbourn, and I am very happy with it.
For theprice I paid, you can't do any better
Good Luck, The amp decision you are about to make is a hard one(It took me like three months, but thanks to the fellow members of this forum, it wasn't to bad.
