i am also a fan of the theta amp. i have also owned and enjoyed the krell kav3250 and nuforce mch 3se c7. the nuforce is an outstanding amplifier and performs better than most i have heard for movies too. those are both a little over your budget but sometimes come up close on the used market.
A good 5 channel Amp? Help
I'm upgrading finally to separates. Currently have A B&K AVR 307 with Quad 22L2 speakers. This Receiver is rated at 150W x7 and I have enjoyed the wide sound stage and imaging for years.
I'm looking at the new Integra pre-amp processor DHC-80.1 due out next month. I was thinking about connecting the Parasound amp 5125 which is rated at 125W x5.
I listen to music 75% with movies second.
Is this a good match? Is there a better amp in this same price range 2K ? Do I need more power? Room is medium size.I like the more neutral sound where the sound is not so forward.
Quad 99CDP

QUAD 22L2
