So this is my set up:
- 2x Component speakers front - 80 watts RMS at 4 ohms each (160RMS for pair)
- 2x Coaxial speakers back - 55 watts RMS at 4 ohms (110RMS pair)
I'm trying to decide between two 4-channel amps to power these speakers:
-JVC KS-AX5104 - Class A/B.
• 70W x 4 into 4 ohms at 20 - 20,000Hz,
• 100W x 4 into 2 ohms at 20 - 20,000Hz ,
• 200W x 2 into 4 ohms at 20 - 20.000Hz Bridged
-Pioneer GM-D8604 - Class D
• 100 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms
• 150 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms
• 125 watts RMS x 4 at 1 ohm
• 300 watts RMS x 2 bridged at 4 ohms (250 watts RMS x 2 bridged at 2 ohms)
Buying the first amp would save me $200, but will it be sufficient for my setup? Is it worth going for the class D rather than A/B? The Pioneer amp has massively positive reviews, while the only review I could find of the JVC was on amazon at 3/5 stars. What do you guys recommend? Is it worth forking out an extra $200?
