Hey everyone!
I've been considering lately several options in amplifyinng my system, since I'm stuck with a sony reciever (STB - 840) that has great pre-amp functions, but its amplification stages suck... I have a 5.0 system, (no sub...) and I use it mostly for music. So, I thought at first to go with a 5-channel amp, but it wouldn't go so well with music. So a 3-channel amp and a stereo amp for my fronts would actually be better. I've been considering the anthem's MCA - 30, and rotel's RMB - 1095. Also, parasound's A-52 seems nice. As you can tell, I haven't auditioned any of these. I know adcom has a 3 channel amp, but frankly I haven't found any others.... The thing is that if I could find a relatively musical 5 channel amp that would be the best, but I have my reservations for rotel's 1095. Moreover, I saw that anthem released a new amp, A5. Anybody heared this amp?
Generally, any help would be great guys, I'm looking for a big S/N ratio, and the amp should be able to produce alot of current, since my speakers are relatively demanding for thir price. The are B&W's 604S3, 602S3 and an LCR 600S3.
I think that this is a problem that torments most of us, and truly I don't think that there's an amp that can drive a setup like my own fairly adequately, and with a cost below 2000 Euros.
Waiting for some replies!
Cheers mates
