I am in search for a 5 channel amp for my HT setup. I have read quite a lot of threads in the forums and I am inclined towards the XPA-5. Can anyone share their experience pairing this amp with the Polk Lsi Speakers? I heard that the XPA5 has great sound stage, more forward and dynamic which is good for the laid back LSi speakers. However, on the other hand, I was told that it would be better to get a used Parasound (HCA-2205) or B&K 7250 which are more refined and warmth. However, these two amps are between 5-10 years old. BTW, budget is around $800 for the amp.
What do you guys think? Should I go with Emotiva or used Parasound or B&K? Any inputs, thoughts or opinion are very much appreciated. Also what is the best preamp processor is the best bang for the buck. My budget is around $500 for the preamp. Used or new is fine with me.
Thanks!!
