2 channel amps?

[cburbs]

What are some not so expensive 2 channel integrated amplifiers that have sub out for simple hook up for 2.1 channel?
I was looking at some of the older HK 2 channel stereo receivers on the used market. Is there anything else to look at?

The Harman Kardon 3480 comes highly recommended for $250.

On any integrated amp you can run a sub with line input from a tape output.

I was looking at the HK 3470 I think used.

Should work OK and has subwoofer line output. Hopefully your speakers are fairly efficient as the HK 3470 is really not a 100 W/channel receiver. 4 Ohm speakers, forget it.

I'd really look hard at the HK 3480 at the above link. New unit, better performance.

What speakers and sub will you be using?

[cburbs]

I have a pair of Ref 1.5s - no sub yet with a squeezebox as my source.

What do you guys think about using pro-audio amps (such as Alto and the like) for hi-fi applications?

[jackfish]

I guess that would depend on the amp. Some work well in home audio applications, other not so well. The Altos have some decent specifications, if they hold true. Of course, its all in the audition.
