Hi everyone,
I am looking for a good stereo amp to power my M80, this amp will be use for music listening and/or music dvd in stereo mode. I am interest in the axiom A1400-2 or the Rotel RB-1572 or any other suggestion, any of you guys use one of those amp in there setup. Money is not a problem for the A1400-2 but higher price will become a problem with the wife :).

Thank
Alex
Sorry for my english, still learning after 4 years in ontario

A have read a lot of great things about Behringer professional amps (although I am not to fond of them as a company). You might want to also look into other professional amp offerings from Yamaha as well as Crown along with the original suggestions for consideration.

Good luck!

If the A1400-2's price isn't a problem, I imagine that's what I'd go with. Other amps might offer better bang for your buck, but I don't see how you could do better than an A1400. Let others chime in with their suggestions, though. I'm not the voice of sanity.

Yeah, that would be my choice, too, based on hearing absolutely none of the amps you're considering.

Peavey just released a new series of class D amps that deliver big bang for the buck (for those who don't like Behringer) and has been verified as delivering the rated power across its entire spectum without issues. Its even 2 Ohm stable.

Of course, whith a pro amp you don't have and fancy features, and nees pro connectors.

There are a few here who also really like Anthem.

Thank everyone.

I really liked the A1400 but haven't heard any other amps with the M80s in my own house. If you can afford the A1400-2 then get it, if you are not happy with it return it in 30 days, shipping is cheap for you since you are in Ontario.

Has anyone here tried an Onkyo M-282 , 2 channel amp? they appear to NOT be 4 ohm rated, although they are described as high current. Just wondering, because I found a place online that has them listed at $108 US, about 1/3 list I believe.

I've got the M-282Pro in my rack (same amp w/ears) but I can't tell you much for driving Axioms.

It's driving 2 sets of ceiling speakers in my Living area for my whole house audio. That's the one in another thread I mentioned I need more volume out of. But I don't think that has anything to do with the AMP.

I can tell you it's been running or in standby 24/7 for about a year with no problems, if that helps

Where on line for $108, I'll take a couple more!

I'll pm you, otherwise Mark'll buy them out just to upset me.

Sorry Mark, first site I've been to that had an "ALL OF THEM" in the dropdown. Done!

thank to remind me about the 30 days in house, I am just wondering about the connection,for the people using the A1400-8, are you using a pre-out with XLR only or some of you use a regular RCA cable with the adaptor who come with the amp, and every thing fine with the quality
Thank

ADRIAN

DO NOT SHOP AT THIS SITE! This site a front to get your credit card information. they ask for birthday and last four digits of Social Security number on an unsecure web page. Once you place the order, they send an acknowledgement email then you never hear from them again. I quickly froze my account and changed my credit card number."

Okay, in a hurry to message Adrian, Somehow I set the forum font to "A can't read it to small for old eyes, where's that fix?

Fixed myself ... Hell that had to hurt!

Ok, see your messages Jeff.

i have used the rotel with my m80s using a simaudio pre amp and a yamaha preamp. both ways I really enjoyed the amp. I am using rotel 1092 amps currently and suggest the 15 series is just a tad more neutral. the preamp makes a huge difference however.
