I'm looking for a good solid state speaker amp in the used ~1K range. This will be driving my front speakers in a home theater setup, but I would like suggestions as if this were just a 2 channel setup.
It needs to be around 150 wpc, and I want something that doesn't run really hot (meaning no class A amps!). No tubes because this is a HT setup and gets used quite a bit by my wife and kids. Some of the names I've been looking at are McCormack, Bryston, Marsh, and Belles. I've heard the Bryston & the McCormack amps before, but not the others. Honestly, I can't remember the sound of the McCormack amps, so if someone let me know what its characteristics are, that would be helpful.
Any suggestions???
Thanks!
