I have one six-channel audio and video system that uses...

Posted by jeffreybehr on September 10, 2007 at 14:44:39:
...a c-j MET1 6-channel tubed preamp and 2 Music Reference EM7-2.5 SET poweramps. The main speakers, open-baffle line-arrays...

...are rather sensitive at 97dB, so the 2.5-Watts-times-4 are plenty for 4 sections of my triamped systems.

The bass sections of all 3 front-channel speakers are driven by a 7-channel Outlaw poweramp.

The MET1 is hardly 'affordable', but you might find a Copland CVA 306... http://www.divertech.com/coplandcva306.html ...used. The EM7-2.5 poweramps are bargains at about $750 each, but not many HT systems can sound good with 5 Watts per speaker.

All digital-to-analog conversion is done within my 2 disc players; I use the 6-channel-analog outputs.

As is visible from the white label, I've converted one of the tape-outs to an additional center-channel output, since that system too is biamped and I didn't want to use an RCA-cable splitter.
