I don’t find my 260x3 very powerful. My McIntosh MC2100 is old and half the watts and louder. The amp does seem to clip if you drive it. It doesn’t have a volume control so if you stream by Bluetooth you will have to use your cell phone volume control. This is unfortunate because the best signal is when the cell is up full. Now, I am using this for the 3 fronts in home theater. It was probably designed for whole house ceiling distribution like the TOA’s, Idk. I would rate it as a 3/5

I bought a Sonamp 1250 MKII (12x50RMS) to power my Linkwitz Orion+ speakers...paid $525 (lists about $1600) and it arrived in excellent condition. Sound is very good! Much better deal that the ATI 6012 that Linkwitz recommends.
hi,i have owned the 5150 thx amp for 3 years & also had the moniter 7's you can spend a lot more money for same sound this amp is made by ait for the sonace speaker line i compare it to rotel b&w music ferdelity i paid 1900 for mine over all i'd say buy it's built like a tank 85 lb's good luck steve
hello,

i like mine puts out tight bass and the high end isn't too bad i use them to run a pair of klipsch ref 20's speakers.the amp stays cool i've been using it with a pioneer vsx47tx as a preamp and the sound is 10 times betterthan the stereo.only wished it had xlr's , but for the price theamp is a good buy. bought mine brand new on ebay for 650 shipped.
