New member Username: KeggerPost Number: 5 Registered: 12-2003 | i have an hk525 reciever with all channels driven and i'd like to preamp out to all channels.i have all the extra speakers allready. i allready have 1 2channel(200watts a channel)amp so i would like to purchase a 5 channel amp preferably with adjustable gains(but not a must) and somewhere around 150x5 channels.(able to drive 4ohm would be nice) budget would be $1000 or under i'm sure i could not get anything descent for around $500 but that would be really nice.(maybe older model) i know some of you will shun the idea but i like to tinker and will be powering half the basement 20x30 with 8 foot ceiling. i am running 8 12" sub's 2 powered on the center channel and 6 powered by 200 watt amps. needless to say i use the system mostly for movies and when i want it really loud i can turn on the second set of 7.1 speakers. like i said i know this is not conventional but i have been colleting speakers and amps for a while and would like to experiment some more. thanks for any help in this endevor! |

While it's nice to have a local source to hear what's out there, it's also nice to be able to purchase from authorized internet dealers too. Save some $$$ b/c Christmas is coming!

I think they are $299 each and I know they used to have a deal if you bought 4 they threw in the 5th. Or you can try looking at Audiogon.com and looking for used amps that have the capabilities that you are looking for. |
