Trying to narrow it down! lol
I've loved the Marsh A200S but I think it's time to move on and try something different. The main thing is I want it to be good with the LsiM 703's for 2ch. I can make almost any amp work since I have a 3ch to handle the center and rears if needed. For space, a 5ch would be awesome but not a deal breaker. Price range is up to about $800 or so.

My pick for your $800 budget would be this Proceed Amp 3.

If huge power is not a concern see if you can find a NAD 906. I loved the sound of mine. It has 3 two channel amps with thier own power supplies.
You could run 3 channels bridged for 90x3, or 30x6, or 90x2 with 2x30 watts and so on. -
If you’re open to another 3 channel, I’ve got an Adcom 5503 or a 5802 for 2 ch. Shipping could be painful with either one

Thanks guys! I knew someone would want to help spend my money. The Krell is driving me nuts trying to figure out how to afford it. lol

He has "Make an offer" on his auction. Reach out to him. Might be able to work out a better deal. That shipping is brittle and I hope he packs really really well for that price.
I want u to get the krell too, so you canmlet me know how you like it. I've wanted a Krell for a really long time.
Maybe when I'm done with thos Halfer I'll try the Krell route. -
Looks like the price has been dropped by the seller to under 800. Still 128 bucks for shipping. Nows your chance Dave.
-
Offer him $860 shipped ????

Kinda funny story. Had a couple tequilas in me last night and offered him $722 plus his shipping so $850. I did it the proper way so i was on the hook. He didn't accept. Then less than three hours later he put it down to $6 more than what I had offered. Just weird.
I've been talked out of it by multiple folk so if anyone is worried about me, don't be. I'll be interested if he comes down further than that though. -
What about that Proceed. It's a Mark Levinson amp.

Thanks for all the help. Lots of great ideas!
I decided to order a 2ch amp straight from Odyssey Audio. Just talked to Klaus and he's going to set me up with a great amp for the money. I'm excited!! 😀 -
You don't want the L/R/C on the same amp?
-
The Odyssey sounds like a nice move.
I hate that eBay Make Offer option, for exactly the reason you mentioned. You’re on the hook, and sometimes they don’t answer In a reasonable timeframe, and/or are not very communicative sellers. I started just contacting them directly to feel it out in situations like that.
The other thing I don’t like about a situation like this is trying to negotiate with a seller where shipping cost is concerned. Depending on the Seller, you might find yourself in a serious hassle if you end up receiving damaged goods because he’s skimped on the shipping to make back some of what’s been negotiated out of the price.I disabled signatures. -

I don't worry about that. I guess I want to get the most out of the front two. The center and rears are run off a b&k..

Getting lower by the day. He just emailed me and apologized for "missing" my offer and tell me he lowered the price.
