Re: 2 channel amp for Rocket 850's


Well, what's your budget?

I'd definitely go used from AudiogoN. Here are some examples:

Adcom for $400.
Cary for $850.
Old-school Bryston for $300.
PS Audio for $550.

Going up in price a bit:

Classe for $1,100.
Krell for $900.

I personally have Sunfire Cinema Grand that I like very much. There's a similar 2-channel model here, but I think it's a little high at $1k -- you might be able to get it for less.

Another amp I have that I like a lot is the Audio Alchemy OM-150. I bought that amp used almost 10 years ago, and it was my first foray into separates. I still have it, and am glad I do. A very nice amp if you can find one.

Good luck!
