I am staring holes through my laptop; researching 2 channel and multi channel amps to add to my Vantages and home theatre. I don't know how you guys are making the big decision on which to buy, going nuts here. So many variables, models, and especially opinions.
When reading the specifications, what number should I be looking for that will give me that "First watt" type of performance (optimum quality sound)?
So far I have narrowed it down to the following, but I know I am missing some of the more obscure brands. Like "Theta Dreadnaught", what is the story here?
I am very interested in balancing looks and style with terrific performance. The bold names are the top five in my selection so far.
Several times I have found one that I feel I could be happy with on Audiogon and it sells before I can get a reply back from the seller. I am sure it will payoff to be patient.
