Audio Refinement Multi 5. You can probably get one for around $1000 or less used. Lots of great detailand neutral just like you are looking for. It is almost tube sounding but yet a solid state amp. Great bang for the buck! I got this when I switched to seperates also. I matched it with the Audio Refinement Pre-2DSP. I still have both. Great for concert dvd's.
A good 5 channel Amp? Help
I'm upgrading finally to separates. Currently have A B&K AVR 307 with Quad 22L2 speakers. This Receiver is rated at 150W x7 and I have enjoyed the wide sound stage and imaging for years.
I'm looking at the new Integra pre-amp processor DHC-80.1 due out next month. I was thinking about connecting the Parasound amp 5125 which is rated at 125W x5.
I listen to music 75% with movies second.
Is this a good match? Is there a better amp in this same price range 2K ? Do I need more power? Room is medium size.I like the more neutral sound where the sound is not so forward.
