Re: need 5 channel amp recomendations

Eric,

I spoke with EAD Friday (Feb 18, 2000) and was told that the Powermaster
1000 will not be available for another 6-8 weeks :-(

If it sounds as good as its bigger brother, it'll be quite a piece.

The Bryston is going to be a good solid amp -- if you're going that
route, you might want to think about going with Power Pac 120s all
around. It's the same amplifier module, as the 9B-ST (and the 8B-ST)
built as a monoblock. You could then put the amplifier with each speaker
and have minimal lengths of speaker cable.

Other considerations: If you don't mind multiple boxes, for around
US$3K try to get your hands on the Marsh Sound Design amplifiers,
model a200s (2x125 watts @ $1295) and ht500s (3x125 watts @ $1395).
The downside of the Marsh amps is that they have a very short warranty
(2 years), especially when put up against the Brystons.
