What multi channel amp sounds like a Class A two channel?

lakefrontroad: there are any number of highend manufacturers who now offer 6-channel amps. most of these i've seen are simply one-offs of what were designed as 2-channel amps. unless you're gonna' have a 5, 6 or 7 channel ht with upstream and downstream components equal to your 2 channel sound system, why do you care that the quality of your ht amps are as good as those you don't need eyes to perceive? -kelly

I have Dunlavy ScIV fronts, SCIII rears, SCIAV sides, SM1 center, HSU Sub, LExicon MC1 processor and am looking for real 2 channel sound quality.

Thanks,

bill:i suggest you look at the JRDG MC-6: http://www.JeffRowland.com/Model%20MC-6%20Amp%20Page.htm
or the Accuphase PX-600: http://www.accuphase.co.jp/photo/px-600e.pdf

unfortunately, both of these models are of very recent vintage, so you're unlikely to find them easily on the used or "demo" markets.

Bill:
I highly recommend the BAT 6200. It's performance is damn near that of the VK 500, a true Class A performer. It also is too new to find used, but it's a bargin to begin with. Please feel free to call or e-mail my store for more information on it, or check BAT's web site.
