| Power supply VA rating and how much is really needed @erik_squires Just to clarify. And maybe I worded it unclear. I was asking about capacity of power supply. Ex: A 2 ch amp with a Tor PS of 1100VA ... you are saying it translates into 550w per ch? That doesn't makes sense if amp is rated at 8Ohms... | |
| Bryston 9B ST FIVE CHANNEL vs Rotel RMB-1585 5ch @geek101 Good advice. Thx. I don't see Class A rating specs within normal list of specs on any of the amps I have been researching. How does one acquire such info to make a better, informed decision in amplifier choice? | |

| Bryston 9B ST FIVE CHANNEL vs Rotel RMB-1585 5ch @geek101 Thanks. I have read that folks were having issues with CS with Odyssey so I scratched them off the list.If I do a 2 ch -- won't the center sound 'off' if it is amplified by a different 'brand' of amplifier?I understand about the surround... | |
| Bryston 9B ST FIVE CHANNEL vs Rotel RMB-1585 5ch @geek101 Thanks will keep that in mind. I believe the ATI stuff is top notch as well. Do you have any insight into whether or not the Monoprice ATI clone is worthy of an audition? | |
