Thanks for your replies. While I like the Bryston and Theta Intrepid, I was shying away from them due to their low power output of only 200 watts at 4 ohms and concerned that while it can work well for music, it might be too "light" for HT.
Best Multichannel Amp for MG1.6/QR's
Category: Amplifiers
I am upgrading my 5-ch HT system and started with a pair of these Maggies that sound good on my old Denon AVR 2600 @ 100W/ch. I know they have a lot more potential to sound great. I listen 80% HT to 20% music. Which amp would be best. I'm looking at the following new/used amps in this order up to drive these 4 ohm quasi-ribbon speakers (QR) but other suggestions are welcome:
Parasound A51 (THX)
Sunfire TGA-5200 or 5400
Sherbourn 5/5210A or 7/2100A
B&K 200.7 S2
Arcam FMJ P7 (THX)
ATI 3005
Anthem A5 or P5
Bryston 9BSST (THX)
Lexicon LX7 (THX)
