I’ll likely be shot for this, but unless you have power hungry speakers you can get away with a small integrated box of magic that will blow your mind. I just picked up a NAD M10v3 integrated Streamer Amplifier.
100w, super quiet, uncolored sound. and has more features than an old guy will ever figure out without a lot of reading. Got one for $2200 and it’s the best thing since sliced bread, to me. Pair it with a sub and a Bluesound Powernode for rear speakers and it turns into a true Dolby 4.1 Surround system. You don’t need a center channel. Add up to 60 wireless speakers around your property and you’ve got something insane. No need to spend a lot of money today on clean amplification….and you get so many other bells and whistles that you won’t find them all. MM Phono, DAC, Stream and wireless broadcasting….with a badass amplifier.
Ok, I’ll shut up and listen up for critics input.
