RE: Help out a Reviewer - Adding Home Theater to 2 Channel System

Posted by Mr Peabody on September 20, 2017 at 20:36:57:
What's up RGA?

Probably not the space saver you need, ATI make No Feedback multichannel amps. If you go 3k series or up the sound quality is beyond it's range. They also require a 20v outlet which may or may not be an issue where you live.

Parasound will have a new higher power 5-channel amp soon but I doubt zero feedback.

My only audition of Wyred4Sound I thought they were neutral, not quite what you describe looking for, however, multichannel, Class D is worth exploring.

I still like the Marantz processors as a sweet spot, you get full featured as with mass market, yet better than mass market performance, IMO.

HT reviewers like Anthem but using a computer and software to set room EQ is a turn off to me, although it's said to be one of the best EQ's going.

Then you have your higher dollar less featured units like Bryston, with great sound, I should add.

I see Lexicon introduced some gear at CEDIA but I haven't had a chance to see what any of it is about.
