What is quite large? Are your speakers sounding like they are stressed?
3 channel amp for H/T
I am looking to add a 3 channel amplifier to my home theater. The room is quite large, and it seems to get a strong viewing experience, I am having to crank the volume quite a bit. Current setup is as follows :
Yamaha RX-V1600
Paradigm CC-270 Center Channel
Paradigm Monitor 7 v.3 Fronts
B&W in wall rear channels
Martin Logan Dynamo Sub
My thought is to push more power through the fronts/center, while utilizing the Yamaha on the rears. Not looking to break the bank (sub $1K for an amp), and am open to used equipment.

jcfiver, The Monoprice Monolith 3 class AB amp, that mzkmxcv suggested, seems like a good option for you. I believe this amp will provide a warm sound quality and a class D amp will provide a more neutral/accurate sound quality with a bit better bass. I'd suggest a good approach would be to determine which amp qualities are most important to you and let your list direct you to the amp that best meets your requirements. Some examples of amp qualities are: price, overall sound quality, size, weight, electrical efficiency, operating temp, cooling fan yes/no, looks, wattage per channel minimum and maximum, warranty, free in-home trial period yes/no, input jack type rca/xlr or both, detachable power cord yes/no and any others you deem important. On my initial post, I mentioned Class D Audio as a good source for very good quality multi-ch class D amps at bargain prices. Here are a couple multi-ch class D amp sources that I consider a moderate step up in performance, cosmetics and price: ttps://www.d-sonic.com/ ttps://www.nordacoustics.co.uk/product-page/nord-one-mp-nc250-2-4-channels-silver Tim |
Uh, I recommended the amp 3 for sale here. Did you find an amp 5? I’m sure that will be an improvement, but seriously, you need to consider upgrading your center speaker. If not the Paradigm I mentioned earlier, I think even this would bring a meaningful improvement to your sound... https://www.aperionaudio.com/collections/center-channel-speakers/products/intimus-5c-center-channel-... Regardless, please let us know how it works out. |
