Looking for advice--2 channel amps (1 Viewer)

[steamboatgeoff]

Newbie alert here.....if I am totally off base or in the wrong area...please move appropriately!

I am getting ready to fit my new house for sound in seven different zones. I am a big Sonos fan and am planning for one Zone Player for each zone (x7). I am planning to put 2 in-ceiling speakers in each room (still deciding on which ones). I will have a central media hub upstairs with plenty of space. I am currently using a Denon AVR-100. I am looking to power each zone individually with dedicated amps.

I am looking for suggestions for solid, nice performing, 2 channel amplifiers, that will not completely break the bank.

Initially I was interested in Outlaw but those are all monoblocks. I was also looking at Audiosource as the price point is very reasonable.

Anyone else have any thoughts? Please let me know if I need to add anymore info...was trying to keep it short and to the point!

Thanks in advance!

I think the place to start looking at stereo receivers is (was) the H/K 2290/3490. They have recently been discontinued, but you can still find them. I say the place to start because they had a rep for a strong amp with no frills; from there you can go up or down depending on your preferences/needs.

Why not buy one 6/8/12 channel amp?
