3 channel amp to power center and rear channels.


All,

Looking for a 3 channel amp to power center and rear channels. My Peachtree grand integrated handles the front mains, b&w 802d. Wyred and D-sonic 3 channel amps look nice, but may be more power than is necessary. I don't think my ears will notice the difference. I like the class d amps but am open to different types. Don't mind getting used gear, some great deals to be had. I see a few offerings in the multichannel listings but would like opinions. Trying to keep it at 2000 or less.

Best,

Patrick

If it were me, I wouldn't focus on 3 ch. I'd look at a 5 ch. plenty of good options in that price range. It never hurts to have the spare channels and its easier to sell later if you move to something else.
The Aragon 8008x3 is a great amp for that purpose. I used it in that configuration for years. You should be able to get one in very nice shape for less than $2000.
Thanks to both of you. The 5 channel idea may not be a bad option. I'll look into the Aragon as well.
AUDIO REFINEMENT MULTI AMPS (THEY COME IN A 2 CHANNEL; 3 CHANNEL; OR 5 CHANNEL CONFIGURATIONS)

These amps are YBA designed gear with YBA component parts, but assembled in China as a "B" line instead of the very expensive YBA kits assembled in France

Google the reviews ...outstanding with a high build quality

On a personal note, I bought the AR Multi 3 ( 120 watts/channel) myself just for that set-up: drive the center and rear channels.

Highly recommended
