balanced power for surrounds


Looking to find a 2way or 4way balanced amp for surrounds in a 5.1 setup, 7.1 down the road.

Processor is Arcam AVp700, front three speakers are ATC SCM-10 active, and eventually i hope to round that out with two for the rear as well, but until then I need to find some reasonably priced balanced power for Gallo d-avia ti surrounds.

Thanks for your suggestions for "best bang for my buck".

Do you mean an amp with "balanced inputs" or an amp with "balanced circuitry". You can find B for your B in the first category, not in the second.

Well, all amps with balanced circuitry, like most of the Balanced Audio Technology (BAT) some Audio Research, and other more expensive lines, have balanced inputs to take advantage of their balanced circuit design. But many less expensive amps (especially these days) have balanced inputs to take advantage of the noise rejection of balanced (XLR) interconnects, especially if you want to have long IC runs in order to keep the amps near the speakers, which is the best way to do it IMO.

Manufacturers' websites (like BAT and others) describe the nature of balanced circuit design.

Another thing (amazing!) about all Bryston gear, is it comes with a twenty year, unconditional, TRANSFERRABLE warranty.
