[QUOTE="youdoofus, post: 8656270, member: 664079"] youll need a preamp if youre going that route, which is fine, just another piece of equipment youll need to purchase and likely need to manually turn on as many of the rack mount ones are not controlled with a remote. you actually might want to look at older Denon stuff. I have a couple of them and they put out some decent power especially if all your pushing is a pair of klipsch bookshelves. I have an AVR3200 (old but solid) and it puts out a reliable 85 watts per channel all day long and can be found on the cheap on craigslist etc etc. They weigh a ton tho, so i wouldnt look on ebay as shipping them would be simply ridiculous. If you want to go the straight up amp route, id look at behringer too (guitar center, if you want to lay your hands on one before buying) as theyre pretty cheap and put out decent power as well. They are known for putting inflated numbers on them tho [/QUOTE]
