2ch Amp that is better then a receiver but inexpensive?
I currently have a Onkyo Receiver that does 100w x6 (well, you know how that goes...)
I would eventually like to upgrade to a Emotiva XP3 for $700 3 channel, but i would still need an inexpensive 2ch/3ch for surrounds.
I don't want to drop $700 atm, is there an inexpensive 2ch/3ch that would be superior to my Onkyo receiver that I can use for my mains to take some of the load of my Receiver? (temporarily until i get the XPA3)
I know Emotiva makes a 2ch (upa2) for $300, but I was curious if there was anything else that was either cheaper or better.
