You really can't beat an EAD Powermaster1000, (200w x 5 channels). Can be had in mint/likenew or demos for around $2000 or just under (they were recently discontinued by EAD). Fabulous sounding amp, smooth and musical with great basss extension. Will sound better than anything at the $2000 price point.
Best 5 or 7 channel amp under 2K
I'm looking to buy the new Outlaw 950 pre/pro and need an amp. My system is the Boston Acoustics VR line.
VRM-60 6.5" ported monitor mains
VRMC matching center
VRMX surrounds
M&K MX90 2X12" push pull powered sub
They are all very efficient 89-90db and with the sub I can run the others on small to conserve power. I'm using a Nakamichi AV-8 and am very content for this budget. It is basically an 80 watt x 5 receiver and provides plenty of power. I don't wish to blow the windows out. I just want decent 2- channel as well as HT sound. The new Outlaw 770 seems like overkill and I have a QSC 900 2 ch. Amp lying around that I can use for the rear surrounds in 6.1 or 7.1. The Outlaw 750 seems an obvious choice. Whatd'ya think?
Thanks to anyone who can help?
