    Powering my home theater (in progress)

    In May I move into a new home with a finished basement which I have claimed for my dream room -- a home theater. My first purchase was a Toshiba MT8U DLP projector and and iScan HD+ video scaler. My next decision prompts this thread--multi-channel power amplifier. I've probably read a 1000 messages on the HT Forum during the past 2 weeks and I've looked closely at what has been said regarding Rotel and Parasound. Here are the three amps I am currently focusing on:
    Rotel RMB 1075
    Parasound HCA 1205A
    B&K Reference 125.5 S2
    I have not located a reseller in New Jersey that lists all 3 products; a side-by-side demo of all 3 will not be possible. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions regarding the products listed above I would certainly welcome them.
    This certainly is addictive-- I'm already expecting to exceed my original budget by at least $3000.

    Bitece,
    Enjoy the hunt for your HT gear. Its a lot of fun. Try Rabsons audio (www.rabsonsav.com) at Paramus NJ. Mark the owner is great guy and gave a good deal on my system. They carry both Rotel and Parasound but not sure about the B&K.

      I have an Anthem amp that I like very much. Connected to my Paradigm speakers. It sounds great. It is getting better as I break it all in. Just to confuse you a little more. Choices choices!! :roll:

      Good luck!

        I appreciate the replies. I may be in Rabson's this Saturday. yeah, the Anthem made the short list-- c'mon, man, I'm trying to narrow my choices!
        One question: when its all done will I be satisfied (are home theater hobbyists ever satisfied)?

          Cuda,
          Would you mind telling which model on the Anthem and the Paradigm speakers?
