Looking for either a 2, 3 or 5 channel amp that is 4 ohm stable for running my Lsi for an HT set up off of.

I'm not looking for anything special, and trying to keep the budget low for this like around 500 or so. I have a Pioneer Elite that I'm using as a pre amp. I would like to try and get a 3 or 5 channel amp but can look at a 2 as well for now.

There was a Parasound couple weeks ago I was trying to get off the Gon but never responded and was gone in a few days :(

    I'm not sure the specs, but I have an Adcom GFA 7000 ch amp. $325 or $360 shipped. I'll have to look into the online details to see if ok w/ 4ohm load. Maybe someone else on here has more experience with it and can provide more details. I acquired it a couple weeks ago in a pkg deal on some speakers I wanted and don't have a need for it.

    No need. I run my LSi's off of one and it is 4ohm stable, I believe 200w @ 4ohm. I have even pushed mine past the '0' mark on my Elite and it still ran the 9's fine. I've been very happy with it, pricewise thats a great deal on any five channel amp.

    Sounds like a deal to me as that will fit the bill nicely.

    I tried to send you a PM but didn't work. Let me know how you would like payment.

    Sorry the box was full again cstmar... all these chatterboxes on here want to talk to me for some reason :lol: It would be nice if I could keep more than 20 msg in my inbox but no big deal. I took some pics for you. Looks pretty good overall. At least one decent size scratch w/ paint off on each side but overall in a rack I doubt anyone would ever know. The front looks good and all works well.

    I'm pretty excited as this HT is coming along nicely. I'm going to be putting a 100" screen into a 12X16 spare bedroom of mine so the amp will be more than enough for the room. Not like I'm going to be running at 105dB or anything lol.

    100" screen, dang, that's what I'm talking about!!! That big Adcom will be right at home. You may not need to always run all those watts, but it sure is nice to have that extra headroom. :cheesygrin:
