I like my EAD PM1000. It is not as "quick" as my Citation 7.1 THX but has a warmer sound with more bass. I understand they have stopped making it in favor of the 8 channel version but you can usually find a used or demo unit on this site. See if you can demo them in your system, it's the only way to tell for sure. Good luck!
5 ch amp decision- opinions please
In upgrading my HTS I am trying to decide on a new power amplifier-
It has come down to these-
Anthem MCA-5
EAD Powermaster 1000
Parasound HCA 2205A
Sunfire Cinema Grand serII
I use my system about 50/50 music/theater, so musical performance is important.
Any opinions about how these compare? All dealers usually only carry one line, so I haven't had the chance to do a controlled comparison.
Rest of components:
Fronts- Proac Response 1.5s
Center- Proac center channel
Surrounds- JM lab 905
Processer B&K Ref 30 (thinking about going to Anthem AVM20)
