What's the best 5 channel for less then 1K?


Need an amp around 100w/channel x 5 that can
actually play music as well as the dialog and boom
blast of sound tracks. Looking at Parasound, Sony
others. Any recommendations? Needs to drive 3 ohm speakers.

I think I am going to side with "Porschecab" here. The reason being is that you said that you want to reproduce in full glory the dialog of movie soundtracks right along with all of the sizzle and boom that goes along with it. And that you want a system that sounds good with music as well. Also, with you saying that you have "3 Ohms" speakers that you have to drive, you are going to need gobs of power and high current in order for this system to perform at its optimum.

But also, if you are going to use a subwoofer also, then I can only hope that you are going to invest in a subwoofer that already has its own amplifier. Because if you are going to be using a passive subwoofer as well, then you are going to need another amp still just to drive the subwoofer (although this time, you may need a bigger and beefier one).

Unless you're going to find some incredible used bargains out there somewhere, that's going to be awfully tough to do for $1K.
