I use a Krell TAS for both 5 channel and 2 channel stereo and could not be happier with the amp. Previously, I used a Krell KSA-250 for stereo playback, the TAS sounds better to my ears (cleaner, great bass and just as dynamic as the KSA-250 IMHO). Oops, sure I am going to upset some KSA-250 owners with this remark!
HT amp for music- please help
The decorator is coming and my wife has asked me to pair things down. I need to buy a 5 channel amp that will take on both 2 channel and movies.
My musical tastes run across the entire spectrum except electronica. Vocals, jazz, blues, country, folk-
I mean Dylan to Puchini
My current and steady amp is a Muse 160 which I have had in my system since buying it new. What can slip in as a replacement that wont leave me flat. Movies are really secondary as it all sounds pretty good to me, but music is what I spend most of my time with.
I am not going to drop a ton on an amp as I don't think it's needed. The Muse has been great and I simply want something that I can enjoy at least as much.
Parasound, Theta, ATI all come to mind.
Would someone please throw their thoughts into the ring- As an avid AG participant, I will not get to listen before buying so I want to be able to make the best possible decision based on this limitation.
Emotiva keeps popping up and I know the haters abound but it looks like a well build product and for a grand...
My mains are AP Tempo 3 rated at 4ohm - not sure about their efficiency- I would guess around 89/90
Suffice to say that I simply want the amp to sound good. Not looking for a lot of flowery descriptions
Thanks in advance for everyones input
