Need amp suggestion please

southbama61

I am somewhat of a newbie and am in need of an amp suggestion. My equipment is as follows

Onkyo TX-NR3010
Lsi25 towers
Lsic
Fx surrounds
DSW Micropro3000
Atrium 8-zone 2 patio

this is a 5.1 set up. I have learned that different amps provide different sound quality with different speakers. Hoping that a fellow Lsi25 owner can make a recommendation. I use for HT and music, but am more concerned with music sound quality. The city that I live in has no dealers of quality equipment, in fact, nothing even nearby. I realize that Emo is cost effective, but I am also understanding that music would suffer with their amps.

Many members here running Parasound. They are pretty cost effective also. Lots of discussions about the different models on this site. Let the search feature be your friend. Good luck on your search.

I had the exact same setup, minus the micro pro. I used a sunfire with great results. You can find them used for decent prices online. I also use b&k in a 2 channel system with lsi's and sounds great. Lots of b&k' s on eBay right now.

ZLTFUL, thank you for the response. Most of the usage is HT, and like my music too. It is sounding like, for a novice like me, the XPA-5 should be sufficient?

The main reason many go for the XPA-5....its the only 200W/300W @ 8/4 ohm 5 channel out there for about $1K.
