what difference does an amp make?
they are all the same anyway.....:Dj/k
Sonance, I have never owned, but have heard on a few occasions, and seem to be a great amp. I plan on trying one of theirs some day. is there a particular model you are asking about?

the 2120 and the 260 I found a local deal for these two 260's for center and surround and the 2120 for mains, all three amps for $290, I am planning on using these with my Rotel 5.1 pre

[zarrdoss]

the 260's are 60wx2 @ 8 ohms rms and the 2120 is 120wx2 rms into 8 ohms

I would try one of these first...

seems better to take all cash if thats the case. ther edoes not appear to be much of a following for sonance...:confused:

[zarrdoss]

not to worried he also has an adcom GFA 6000, I will listen to both and decide, I wanted seperate amps so it would be more flexable if I wanted to upgrade just the main amp latter on.

Sonance makes very good amps. They're similar in design to adcom.
I have a 260. 60 wpc sounds more like a 125 wpc amp.
Very musical and dynamic.

thanks, I have decided to go the Sonance route for now and for the price I dont think it could be beat.

I just picked up the three Sonance amps and just doing the I-pod test with the monitor 5b's it sounds amazing, I cant wait till tomorrow to get it all going with the Rotel pre.

congrats man... full review pending?

[zarrdoss]

Yeah I will as soon as the inital tweeking is done and have a chance to really check it out. So far the difference is like night and day. Everything is much clearer, the Roter does a real nice job of doing 2 ch and 5.1 ht. The Sonance amps seem real well made and are powerful and clean. I moved my monitor 5b's for surrounds. But still need a line conditioner and some other stuff but will have to wait for funds.
