Anyone using these for HT or music? Is the "fad" over AFA music? I don't want to put any more money into a AV receiver. (I have a Denon 1913) but just F&F a new LSiM706c.
I'm 90/10 music right now. What have I done :)

    Been looking for a 200 or 140 watt B&K 3 ch myself for HT. My AVR is powerful enough to deal with the surrounds.

    I run an Aragon 8008x3 & before that an Acurus A200x3. The Aragon is on a whole other level.

    I always hear good reviews on that series of Aragon 8008 amps and that they are highly regarded.

    These are what I'd try hard for.

    IIRC there are some folks close that might be able to snatch either of those.... if I had any money or need I'd be looking lol...

    Personally....I'd hop/skip/and jump over to that Proceed and snatch it up. Great amp from a great maker. Proceed was top of the line in their day. Good price too. Now trade in all those S&H green stamps you got under the bed and go get it.

    I using a Adcom 5503 to power my front 3 also, and letting my NAD T-758 power the 2 surround speakers. works great. but you will need preouts on your AVR to use a external amp that way. Red I don't think the 1913 has preout's to add amp to your setup

    Sadly no. I wouldn't have bought it but the wifey said now or never
    at the time and that was what I could afford. One change begets two more.
    :D

    Oh how I want that proceed...even have family in Charlotte. Bad timing and bad habit of looking for stuff at the wrong time. Better someone else nab it.
