Someone else’s headache may be your blessing. Some units work in some systems. Others are total stinkers. Match the needed speakers load requirements to the amp and read as many reviews as possible.
HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range
I am trying find a decent 2 channel power amp to replace my Sonos Amp connected to Kef R3's and RSL Speedwoofer MKII.
I was considering the Emotiva TA2 but based on the comments/reviews here I beleive I could do better going 2X on price over the Emo and be open to a used unit. I prefer warm to neutral with detail sound profile.I'd also like an amp that is north of 100 WPC becuase my listening space is midsized (open floor plan approx 600 SF).
Thanks to all in advance!

@balooo2 OK so what are you going to put in the signal chain along with said power amp? Others have asked above and seem confused also. Further, the example you cited in your original post is in fact an integrated so you'd see why we might be asking. Just trying to help. EW |
PS Audio S300. 140 watts per channel into 8Ω and 300 watts per channel into 4Ω. I'm using one with KEF LS50's & it sounds great for the money. You can find these for $900 to $1000 used. PS Audio also has a trade in allowance, so you may be able to trade in your current amp to get you closer to $1000 on a new unit. |
