Topic: HELP: Need new 2.0 or 2.1 Stereo Amp

[box1025]

HELP PLEASE:

Need 2.0 Stereo Amplifier or 2.1 (Don't need 5.1/7.1 as I already have HT setup)

Will be used purely for music. And will power my Philippians FS by AnthonyAudio. Mag recommend naman kayo.

Budget around 10k Php but I can max it 20k if really required.

Thanks more power

Post budget and brand and model of speakers so the gurus here can recommend a specific amp that will suit your budget. Kindly post na din as to what type of sonic signature would you prefer.

Thanks DTNS,

do you know where i can check this Sakura AV200T Tube AMp? 

[sientobente]

There should be some good options in our marketplace under that budget.

[DTNS]

Thanks DTNS,

do you know where i can check this Sakura AV200T Tube AMp? 

you can visit the Crown/ Sakura showroom at St. Francis Square in front of MegaMall. Sound&Vision in Banawe also carries the AV200T.

[box1025]

any other idea from our Gurus.

[DTNS]

another option is the Emotiva mini-x a-100 "flex" amp. there are a few sellers of this amp here in pinoydvd. just check the marketplace.

Tubes ba ang gusto mong amp sir? or no preference? ok lang din ang SS?

[Gino]

Get the ideal specs for the amp from Anthony. He knows your speakers more than anyone here.

[Jick]

If it is 2.1, just get an integrated amp with pre-outs so that you can run that to your sub.  Getting a used NAD is the best option. 

As for the suggestion on the used Emotiva Mini-X - I think Emotiva makes great amps and would be great for a 2.0 setup. Not sure how to integrate a sub with it.

[Gino]

If you buy a sub with speaker level inputs, your choice of amps will be wider. Plus the sub will put out the same character of music as your amp. Ask A-Audio if they have such subwoofers.

Since you use floorstanders, a sub can come later.

[audiojunkie]

My nakamichi RE-10 has sub out.... Try to find amp with this feature.

[shoktongxxx]

saan ba location mo sir, kung malapit ka sa Binan Laguna pwede natin try Acurus A100 power amp and Parasound P/HP 750II pre amp combo ko dyan sa speaker mo. 

[Gino]

Are those amps still available sa market?

[shoktongxxx]

not so sure, pero kung gusto nya try pwede naman para may idea sya.

[box1025]

Tubes ba ang gusto mong amp sir? or no preference? ok lang din ang SS?

thanks sir timithekid. no preference actually, any will do. Noob lang sir, sorry but what is SS? 

[mykel18]

thanks sir timithekid. no preference actually, any will do. Noob lang sir, sorry but what is SS? 

SS = solid state

[praktikal]

gamit mo ba dati sa HT ang speakers na yan o binili mo lang for music pero wala ka pang amp? natanong mo ba si Anthony kung anong amp ang best match sa speaker?

familiar ka sa Baby G?

[Gino]

What is your source/s? Make sure its output signal (e.g- RCAs) can drive your selected amp with enough headroom (extra loudness without distortion.) Your amp must have a volume control if your source doesn't have one.

Post your gear so replies will be appropriate.

To responders, it is better for OP to be given suggestions that ha CAN BUY. No sense suggesting something that he cannot obtain.

@shoktonxxx; sorry sir quite far. thanks sa offer. 

gamit mo ba dati sa HT ang speakers na yan o binili mo lang for music pero wala ka pang amp? natanong mo ba si Anthony kung anong amp ang best match sa speaker?

familiar ka sa Baby G?

@praktikal; yes sir gamit ko as front dati as HT ang Philippians FS with my Denon 1913. pero dahil meron ako energy na bookshelf i used the Philippians Booksehelf instead as Fronts and the energy as surround. kaya ngayon free ang Philippian FS ko.

@sir Gino, it will power my computer, DVD/Media player and/or Iphone (any of the three will do). It will not be used that much but mostly during my time-outs.

@sir shoktong,  i don't think he thought it that way sir. Fully appreciated po lahat ng comment nyo.
Yes sir more than willing to try your gear with my AAudio Philippians unfortunately sir from Tarlac pa ako. 

[praktikal]

from tarlac ka pala, may mga nakikita akong used amps posted sa sul*t at ay*s from north. yan ay kung ok lang syo ang mga used...

[nods]

box, taga tarlac ka rin pala.  San ka sa tarlac?

Check out dau.  May mga shops dun selling 2nd hand amps. Mura and maayos.  Kaso, mostly for home theater.  There were a few 2 channel amps rin naman.

Also consider the Sakura av200t. There is a modded version by Master Rene Rivo, may phono stage (for turntables) na.

edit:  I also have speakers from A-audio, when it was still Anthony Audio

[disturbed]

do you have the spec of the Philippians?  I have a spare Emotiva mini-x..if you wish to run a sub with it..you can use the line level of the sub..so minix -> sub -> FS

btw san kayo sa Tarlac..medyo malaki laki yan hehe..anyway I go home from time to time to Angeles City..just PM me if you want to try it out.
