If the need is for more than 2 channels then that is the need. Now getting a multi channel amplifier that would serve well for 2-channel audio at that budget, not sure. One could focus on a quality 2 channel amplifier and use a AV receiver or lower budget 3 channel amplifier for the other channels. The receiver would need line in for each channel. Buying used saves.
Multichannel power amplifers VS 2 channel power amplifiers
Has anyone here been satisfied with usage of a multichannel power amp for multitasking in 2 channel applications? In other words, did it ever keep up with your hifi stereo power amps in a stereo application?
Asking for a friend who doesn't have the space for 9 or 10 monoblocks! His budget is between 1 to 2k and I don't have experience with any modern amps in this relatively more modest price category.

@deep_333 I was thinking 2-channel for music and multi for video. Why wouldn't a receiver work for the center as well for the rear channels. |
