professional amp for home use

[accastil]

is it ok to make use of a recording and post production category amp at home to hook up with an existing AV receiver. say for example a crown or a behringer amp to hook up with a marantz receiver?

Accastil , I hope you saw my 2nd addition on page 5 the very long list of replies to your question in "General Audio" - about a CD player before an additional Amplifier .

From the nature of your amp question here I really think some-one has been giving you bad advice and you will simply end up spending a lot of money and gettting no "better" but only "louder" , and , if you buy "behringer" you may get "worse" quality with the louder . Behringer is a low price semi-pro / home recording / small PA products manufacturer - it is not quality sound - your Marantz is much better !

I have spent years working with Pro and Semi-pro Audio and Recording . "Crown" were good for amps and hopefully they still are , but this is not the audio area you should be looking in unless you know a lot about what you are doing as there are numerous things to take into account and I am not going to even start writing about those . Stay with home audio brands and things will be compatible , seriously , Chris .

chris,
have you heard the a500 already? are you saying that the sound you heard, if you alraeady did, is bad?

[2bluechris]

a500 ? what is it ? , and what brand ?? - Chris .

as i say all the time for this a Crown K1 or K2 is the way to go. I could come up with a whole list of pro amps that would be great for home use. If its good enough to use in the studio to make the music its good enough to listen to at home.

I agree.

I use a Crown XLS 402b to drive my mains in my HT.Very satisfied with the results.

This is a serious amp and for a good price I have two of them but before I had two I had one and you will not believe the sound this amp will produce.:
