    Default Looking for a 3 channel amp

    I need suggestions on a good 3 channel amp to power my center (LSiC) and surrounds (LSiFX's). Needs to be under $1000.

    Don't mean to hijack, but what about getting a 3 channel amp for your front stage and using your current amp for the surrounds?

    A good point, but what makes you make that suggestion? I'm curious.

    An equal amp for the front soundstage. It helps assure having the same sound across the front three speakers, essential for good imaging.

    Or you could sell off the 1080 and go with the 1095 as it is the 5 ch version of your 2 ch amp. Sound shouldn't change and you would have all the amp you need in one chassis instead of two.

    Off the top of my head for below $1000 if we assume used is acceptable you could go B&K 200.3, 125.3, Adcom GFA-5503, Earthquake Cinenova Grande 3, Anthem MCA30...

    You could also go three monoblocks.

    The Adcom 5503 shows up on e-bay alot for under 1000.00
    I have only seen one 3-channel Anthem on there but you could also try audiogon. Another option is 3 Outlaw 2200's or the older 200's. Anything new for under $1000 will probably not be worth it.
