need 5 channel amp recomendations

208.190.144.44

Posted by Eric J on February 15, 2000 at 21:52:04

Im in the market for a 5 channel amp for a home theater setup that will mostly be used for 2 channel audio. I'm currently using a B&K ref 20 and AV 6000II, long story but the av 6000II and ref 20 are not mine and Im in need of an amp with at least 150 watts x 5, preferable more. I'll be using this amp to drive Platinum Reference 1's as the mains and Studio 2 center and rears, these speakers are fairly inefficient so the more power the better. Ive listened to the Golden Theater GTA-1, the Parasound 2205a, B&K 7250, Classe cav 150(out of my price range) and the Anthem MCA-5. Of these, the Golden theater was my favorite. My question now is should I travel about 100-150 miles to check out the ATI, Sherborn, Sunfire and EAD Powermaster 1000. Im really interested in the EAD, the reviews on its big brother have been great. My price range is from 1500-3000, I could go a little higher if needed, I'm looking for a long term solution here. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks Eric J
