    I really got to get my hands on an Emotiva amp so I can form my own opinion. You seem to have a strong opinion against them, why is that?

    Then again no one is going to go from a Geo metro as their first car to a Ferrari either, And to some Honda civics are really nice cars... Reliable good on gas and will last forever if not abused.... really bad comparison Nightfall.

    Ok if i were to step up my budget a little and hold off till i get the money, what would be a better option in my situation....
    1. B&K reference 7250 for $650.... or
    2. Emotiva XPA-5 for 600....

    the other option i would say in spending around 600 is to get the UPA-5 with a UPA-2 Or XPA-2

    Ok it's been a couple of days since I have posted... I came across an ATI 1506... It had 6 channels of 150 watts of massive clean power, and can also be bridged to 450 watts... And this thing weighs a whopping 84 pounds.... My dilemma is how good are Ati amps what do they sound like,are they reliable, and how would I hook it up? Would I use all 6 channels and on back left leave it hooked up to my receiver, or do I bridge the center? And leave both the backs hooked up to the receiver? Last thing what is a fair price on one?

    The Sonance is more so a home distribution amp, meant for powering multiple smaller speakers.

    The ATI would be fine, but you don't need to bridge anything with those speakers. When you bridge an amp, most will not like impedance swings or anything below 8 ohm, and most sound like arse too when bridged. Not all mind you, but a lot.

    I would hit up the B&K personally.
