Excuse me... never is wrong.
What about the RB-993 3 x 200wpc ? That was 3 channel and bloody good that and the 991 were great for bi-amping left and right and single amping the centre channel
Or the pair for 5.1 I prefered having a 993 and 991 then both in one big box sharing a power supply.
Hunt around for a second hand RB993 Great amp.

Well, NEVER is wrong...but it seems the trend is away from 3 channel amps, not to say they aren't out there. Most manufacturers have gone the route of 1/2/5/7 channels.Comment

I have RB-1080 in a stereo setup (check my profile) and would probably think of the necessity of having a 3 channel amp for my future HT. However, I can get a 5 channel amp like RMB-1075 and use my RB-1080 to power the fronts for a 7.1 setup. Or could choose to get a RSX-1056 receiver instead for HT and use its preouts with my RB-1080 for the fronts. It is even much cheaper this way, but not sure if the quality of 2 channel music is the same (vs. RMB-1075/RB-1080/RSP-1068 combo).Comment

As I've been reading people's posts on their new pre-pros, I've been researching my eventual move to separates myself. Although I can't afford to upgrade yet, I'd like to be prepared for when I can.

Hi!,
I am looking down the road to add a 5 channel amp to my system. My speakers are the Paradigm Reference Studio's all around with the 100's in the mains postion. I would configure the 5 channel amp in such a way that I would use 2 channels each to bi-amp the mains (Studio 100's/ 350... -
Does anyone have any experience connecting a 2 channel amp to an AV receiver? I just recently upgraded my B&W 805s to 804s and feel as if the 804s could benefit from an upgrade in amplification. I've been considering running the 804s ( fronts) from the preouts of my Pioneer Elite 56TXi receiver...
