[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8350633, member: 576029"] each of the speakers listed will require different high pass crossover settings. so having separate amp channels for each is a good idea. in a separate post you're asking about bridging an amp to run the perfects in mono. we recommend against that. i'm not bashing a brand, just curious what options you have. if you already own all of the speakers and amps then your options are limited to what you have. if you're shopping then options are more open. before we can answer your question we need to be clear on what we're working with. it's common for for the first reply to be a question asking for more information. if SQ was your goal, the perfects alone would be what you'd use. adding more speakers of lower quality just lowers the overall SQ of the system while increasing volume level. for efficiency, aim towards full-range Class D and avoid Class A/B. you're going to use SS so just pick from their options that fit your budget and run with it. back in the 90's an Orion, PPI, or Soundstream amp of good quality were over $400. All three of those companies were bought out. An amp of equal quality to what we had in the 90's is over $700 today. I enjoy old school amps and prefer them, personally. Until recently, all of my amps were older than 2000. [/QUOTE]
