what features do you look for in a home amp?


Recommended Posts

I have a Marantz. I look for as low a THD% as possible, good quality DACs (and sometimes dedicated per-channel DACs), upconversion from analog inputs to HDMI out, and a decent output power at 4Ω and higher. Having the automatic 'Audyssey' setup doesn't hurt either, but it doesn't always come out perfectly.

3. Don't put speakers outside the car unless you are the ice cream man.

I use a 1970's era Kenwood KR-6600 home stereo amplifier. No HDMI nothing fancy like that but it does do 500 watts a channel. And has a killer sound to it. I don't like newer amps I like my old bulky square powerhouses with no protect or cut off in them. As bad as it sounds, I rather blow the speaker and buy upgrades for it than have an amp that dials back power because it has all the protect circuits in it.
