in 2 Channel Audio
I've got a couple s20's, S60's and a center channel

I haven't been able to find a corner wall mount that will fit so I'm looking to turn them into a 2.1 system and ordering the smaller S10's for my HT.

Any advice on a decent amplifier that is small, powerful and reaches the upper limits of the speakers ??

    If your subwoofer has speaker level inputs, a simple integrated amp would do you well for a 2.1 setup. I have a NAD C 316BEE available.

    Newer integrated amps have subwoofer outputs on them but they usually are fixed and cannot be adjusted from the amp, You'll have to adjust the x-over on your sub instead.

    HT: Samsung QN90B * Marantz NR1510 * Panasonic DMP-BDT220 * Roku Ultra LT * APC H10
