WARM 5 channel amp - suggestions?


With a budget of $2500 ish (could go more, or happy to save less) but nothing outrageous either direction - if you needed a 5 channel amp what would be your suggestions for an amp. Could be new (based on street prices) or used (I'm open to it if in solid shape).

I DO believe there are sonic differences in amps as I've done enough a/b testing DB matched etc. I don't think differences are great, but I do believe differences exist. I don't need a ton of power (call it 100-150 wpc) and I'm good, but more certainly can't hurt.

The other thing, I'm not real big on fan cooled amps.

Thanks.

Parasound is an option, you might find the Halo A51 for under 3000. Their lower tier 5250v2 is also an option, although it's recently been discontinued. Audio Advisor has a demo on sale for 2000. These are both 250 watts per channel so they might be too much for some small speakers.
