I have been looking for something to run my 10b's with right now they are running on an onkyo 505. I was just wondering if this would be any better than my 505 as far as SQ. i seen this ad on CL and was wondering if its worth buying Thanks for any input.

    Hi Dj,

    I've got a KM-206 power amp in my main system running monitor 4 surrounds right now. It sounds good. Definitely has enough power, but it's a fairly mass-market product. and I haven't ever heard a 505 so I can't comment there. For the price though, you probably can't go wrong.

    I've never owned or heard either, but 125wpc separates with an asking price of $60 sounds pretty awesome. Might not hurt to offer less and make it an even better deal

    Thats kinda what i was thinking Globe 125wpc with seperates vs 90wpc with the 505. i just wanted to know if anyone has ever used that amp. I have been searching CL for 2ch amps like NAD, Adcom, Rotel, and Parasound but can find anything or if i do its jusr overly priced. I was gonna offer him 50 bucks for it.
