[QUOTE="lanman_aw, post: 543702, member: 556752"] I am interesting in the opinions from other forum users regarding the amplifier they would most recommend for clarity and sonic purity. I am thinking of putting a system together and have some preferences of my own when it comes to amps. Here's what I now have. Soundstream Reference Class A 6.0 2-Ch 50x2 RMS Coustic Amp 268u 4-ch 50x4 RMS Coustic Amp 360u 2-ch 70x2 RMS Coustic Amp 162u 2-ch 35x2 RMS Altec Lansing ALA 552 2-Ch 50x2 I am thinking of substituting the 3 Coustic Amps for a Soundstream Van Gogh 800.5 which is a 5 Channel amp. Cosutic amps have reputations of being quite powerful but in terms of clarity I am not sure how they stack up against more expensive brands like A/D/S, Soundstream and Xtant. The Coustic amps would be driving Midranges, Mid-Bass and highs respectively as I have them listed. The Altec would be assigned the role of driving a Subwoofer in bridged mode. Crossing over would be done by a combination of a Cosutic XM5e and a Rockford Symmetry EPX. Does anyone have any other ideas regarding this configuration? Thanks. I'm open to any other ideas.
