    Hands down the UPA-7 from Emotiva is the best bang for the buck in my book.

    If you only need five channels of amplification vice seven check out the UPA-5

      Best one depends on your speakers, your room size and system synergy.

      IMHO Emo's floor noise level is too high and obscures detail.

      Good luck with your search

        From my reculection, the 1609 doesn't have pre-amp outputs...you are going to a receiver with pre-amp outputs...also..you never stated what your budget is.

          by dian1511
          Hi Guys,

          I plan to build a pair of 3 way loudspeakers with the 12” Lambda TD12H as the woofer. I am shopping around for an amp that will not only drive the mains for music listening but also a surround setup for HT.

I know that they were designed by B&W but I think they were built by someone else if I remember correctly. Any way, I would like to match the center to something currently being produced, or if I should just toss...
