I would think the trends would not cut it with ht. Get a used emotiva 5-channel amp. Or a new Emotiva UPA-5 for $549. Very powerful and their stuff very well reviewed.
Musical 5-channel power amp under $600 used?
I need a power amp for my HT set up in my new home. I have a Classe SSP-30 pre/pro and would like something decent for music so as not to let the sound quality of that unit go to waste.
I was thinking of getting 3 of the Trends TA-10.2P SE power amps (hence the $600 ceiling), but am wondering if there are better options out there. I've seen some older "mid-fi" stuff like NAD, Rotel, etc. but don't know how they'd compare to the Trends. I do know that I much prefer my Trends TA-10.1 to the NAD C340/350 integrateds I've owned in the past. I am a little concerned that 10 WPC will fall flat on its face for HT, though I don't play loudly.
Speakers are all Energy: fronts RC-10, center RC-mini, rears C-100.
Thanks.
