Hi all, I recently built a TV stand out of hardwood, and being a audio initiate, I made a large oversight of making it too narrow. Most amps are deep and tall! I planned on putting a home theater am or two channel amp in a cabineted area below my satellite box, but I made this area only 12.5 inches deep. I planned on opening the doors of the cabinet when I wanted to use the receiver or floor speakers, giving me the option of using the TV for regular viewing. I want a system that: ...is two channel (ok if the amp drives more channels that I won't use but I really only want two channels). ...drives two floorstanding polks, klipsh, theils or JBLs. I don't need HUGE volumes, as I am not a headbanger, and I will be doing a lot of late night listening/classical/piano at low volumes. That said, I would like it to fill my 25 foot long room, if need be. Soundstage, dynamics, and clarity for TV and music is more important than volume, power, and thump. ...integrates into TV and blue ray player fairly well. I would like to play mp3s over the TV with my remote, via a usb drive. This is the least important. I recently saw the Harmon Kardon BDS 2.1 series of amps. http://www.harmankardon.com/EN-US/Products/Pages/ProductDetails.aspx?PID=BDS%202 %20SO/120 They are narrow and small. However, I have some questions: 1. Will this amp drive floorstanding speakers? (stereo mode: 65 watts per channel, 20Hz – 20kHz, @
