[QUOTE="koochkooch, post: 8607103, member: 674000"] 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? [/QUOTE]
