Re: need 5 channel amp recomendations

63.28.132.222

Two suggestions:

#1 - consider combining two and three channel amps. That way, you don't limit yourself to only 5 channel boxes. Plus, allows you to allocate your budget; e.g., spend more on a higher quality 3 channel amp for the front speakers, and buy an inexpensive, lower powered amp for the rear effects.

#2 - look for used equipment. Substantial savings off retail. For example, I use a combination of Aragon's 8008BB and 8008X3, which list for approx $5k combined. Recently, I saw an 8008BB for $1400; i.e., $1k off of retail.

I am very happy with my Aragon's by the way. They aren't Mark Levinson's, but they're a very reasonable value. Understand the same holds true for Bryston amps.
