I agree with the previous post in that you have addressed your timber match in your speakers. I'm doing the same thing in my system only using 5 channels instead of 7 in HT mode. I think the Parasound is a great way to go as I am using the 2203 which is a three channel amp for my surrounds and center. Parasounds are very resonable, very reliable, great customer service and do not call attention to themselves. Yes, you can find a 2205 dirt cheap. You are on the right track in my opinion.
good 5 channel amp for rears only
Hello everyone,
I've got B&W Matrix all around, 801s and 804s, using Classe to power the front two. I'm going to 7 channels, and am considering the B&K Ref 50. Do any of you have a recommendation for a 5 channel amp for the center, surrounds, and rears? I'd like something reasonable, but just don't notice much comes from these channels to justify (to me) spending over $1k for this amp (new or used). How are B&K 5 channel amps? Thanks in advance.
