    Have you tried "Emotiva" ? Go to their website and look at their amps.

    The ONLY way to fly based upon your request would be with a Sunfire TGR-3... it is a seven channel that will let you use the unused channels for bi-amping.

    And the ONLY way to grab one would be to go used... They can be had for a grand or less.

    mole', If I were you I would wait until you have all your new speakers in place, listen to them first through the SC-07 amps, then through the amps you currently have (which are pretty good amps IMO).

    You may find that you may not need to spend more on a different amp.

    i know thats a good idea, but i dont have the space for 2 amps right now.

    and still trying to find a good rack to hold me gear

    Combine the money for both rooms and let the Sunfire run the whole show.

    Ok if you have space constraints and must go to a single amp, how about this one:



    http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampsmult&1287002092&/Outlaw-770

    Looks like a beast of an amp. 90 lbs and TWO massive toroidal transformers.

    thats a big amp. specs are close to that sunfire.

    Wait a minute. I just googled the Sunfire TGR-3 and it is a receiver, not an amp as the OP is looking for. :rolleyes:

    LMAO... saw AVR in the post... my bad.:eek::cool:


    Try this one...

    I will help you get Bob Carver's signature on it if you get one. I think they look sexier that way.:D

    The Sunfire would be a good choice all right. Also if you are interested in a Pioneer VSX 84TXSi for your bedroom, let me know. I just replaced it with Sunfire equipment, and would let it go to a fellow Polkie for $400. PM me if interested.

    Just trying to save you some money brother.

    Then again you seem to have an unlimited budget for your A/V equipment (I'm kind of jealous man LOL).


    I would not run the 2.3tl's with the SC-07...

    Just my humble opinon.. Get the sunfire and if your not going to get it I'm going to bid on it.. no sense in us having a bidding war..;)

    That's funny, I tried putting a last second $700 bid on that same amp, but my connection was too slow. $680 seems like a good deal.

    Oh well, maybe next time.

    Just a word of caution, since I saw someone mention an Outlaw 770. I have one also, & they are not a common ground design. I beleive this is true of many of the Outlaw multi-ch amps.

    Find a Sunfire like what nooshin was recommending, you won't be dissapointed. Emotiva is alright, but if you have the scratch for a Theater Grand Sunfire, it's a no brainer IMO.

    That sucks mole'. I hate when people aren't true to their word. :mad:

    The same thing happened to me a couple of months ago when I found something on Craigslist I wanted. I emailed the guy from work, he gave me his address and said he would hold it for me until I got there. Just as I got off work and was heading to his house he called me and said he sold it to someone else.

    Then again I have also had things for sale myself, had someone say they were going to be here to pick it up at a certain time, and never show up.

    I think some people are afraid of this happening so while they may promise it to you, if someone else shows up with cash in hand they just let them have it.

    Well I'm sure you'll find yourself another amp soon enough and maybe even get a better deal while your at it. Good luck. :D

    man i was so mad. i asked the guy if he wanted me to send him some $$$ to hold it. he said no, ITS YOURS!
    i worked around the times he could meet up. OH WELL!!! live and learn just like them FAKE EBAY MIT's lol

    Sir:

    I have a 5 Channel Fosgate Audionics FAA 1000.5 Amplifier in PERFECT condition. Original Packaging, etc. I HAD it running off of my Yamaha RXV 863, which I still have too. I have all of the wiring to daisy chain the receiver of your choice to this amp. Wires are by Signal Hi-Fi. The speakers I ran with this were all Polk LSI 9s, LSI C, LSI FX. I was sickened to have to sell all of this gear. The economy sucks.

    If you are interested in any of this. Oh, I also have a Definitive Tech Supercube I. Mint condition, as well. AND speaker wires from Signal Hi-Fi for front end LSI stage. All wires are bi-wire specific for the Polk Lsi Front Stage.

    Please call me if you are interested. My name is Jonathan and my number is 602-799-8738.

    Thanks For Your Consideration
