3 channel amps

[pmckeealaska]

I am looking to get a bomber 3 channel amp to power my center channel and surrounds. I am looking for a new amp, not a used one. Any companies still making these kind of amps?

Here's a couple for you to take a look at. You didn't mention a budget?

looking at anything less than $2000!

consider one of these... I know you said new, but these are hard to beat for the price

+1 for D-sonic or Outlaw Audio M2200 Monoblocks.

There are options for under $2k. Emotiva, Wyred4sound, heck even two Behringer A500's (http://www.zzounds.com/item--BEHA500) for $400 (shipped!).

Have the A500 for my stereo speakers. They do the job and then some. Better than my AVR for sure. I will be adding another A500 when I move to drive the center channel with. My AVR will still drive the surrounds.

Check out the Emotiva XPA 3 at $539 (http://emotiva.com/xpa3.shtm)

I just bought a EMO XPA-3 to hook up to my LSI25's and LSIC...great price! I haven't hooked it up yet....Im still waiting on the wires, Y Cable, etc! Are you going to run your sub to your AVR or leave as is??? Any set-up hints or does or donts for these speakers?

The Emotiva amps power the Polk LSi's very well. I have two LSi systems powered by Emotiva - a 7.5 system in one room with two XPA5's and a 7.4 setup powered by a XPA3 and LPA-1. I have no complaints.

I consider them to be a working persons amp. They're the new kids on the block and appear to be ruffling the feathers of some of the established elites. I've seen this before with the same predictable reaction from the "establishment".

With the LSi25's make sure you remove the rear flat metal speaker jumper strips if you biamp or the connect to the line level or LFE inputs. I recommend experimenting with each of the subwoofer input methods and pick the one you like best. A Radio Shack sound level meter is certainly nice to have to assist with your calibration. I recommend the digital one.

I see Marantz 200 wpc monoblocks all the time. That would more than
get the job done.
