    Do you mean Sonance, the speaker company that specialized in in-wall speakers?

    Are you referring to this amp?

    It's certainly an amplifier. Sonance is well known for their built-in solutions and multi-room applications.

    Remember it's not 260wpc....it's a 3 Zone amplifier at 60wpc@8 or 100wpc@4.

    Thanks folks. I'm just doing a little window shopping prior to the future purchase. I want to add an amp to my system to help improve the sound quality. I would like to improve the quality of the front speakers for my 2 ch stereo. I do not have a lot of info or knowledge re: amps, just that Rotel & Parasound are on my checklist.

    Front - RTi100
    Centre - CSi5
    Rear = RTi38

    Shop until you can no longer stand it, then shop some more. Good luck in whatever you choose, I'm sure it will be a good decision.

    Here is another amp. I guess I am asking for opinions with regards to the minimum amount of watt per channel. This shows 60W stereo, which I assume is 60W/CH. I am not sure what my minimum threshold should be per CH for my current speakers.

    Rotel AMP

    I own the Rotel 980 and for what I paid for it, it's a great little amp. You should find some 980's going for 250-300 (US, not canadian).

    Thanks Toxis. The 980 has been recommended by several people. Rotel is a great name and I am sure the 980 would fit with my current system quite well.
