get a good quality used amp.....look around for an Ayre
Amp Recommendations
Hey everyone,
I have been upgrading my home system, but then moved due to a new house for work. The power amp was the last one to be updated. After 3 Monoprice amps, instead of getting another warranty replacement, I decided to return and upgrade in the process. So needless to say, I need a new power amp to use for my set-up. I would prefer to stay around $5k or so, but flexible as needed and looking at both new and used. Room is a split use 70/30 music/movies that measures 14'x20' with vaulted ceilings (peaks around 14'), but opens to the kitchen/dining room behind which is another 11' deep. I had a 5.2.2 system at the old house and will probably do the same here, but will at least start with the 2.2 and go from there until I have time to get set-up and play with the set-up.
Speakers: Sonus Faber Serafino Tradition
Processor: Anthem AVM 70 8k

Since you are starting with 2.2 what do you think about going with monoblocks? Then every time you add another speaker you can simply get another monoblock to go with it? Maybe Van Alstine M225 (around $1700 each). The Emotiva XPA-HC1 class A/B monoblock looks interesting too (around $900 each).
