Check it out guys, I have my setup, which is great n' all, but my Athenas are rated at 250 watts RMS and I'd LIKE to get a 2channel amp that feeds 'em that much. My questions are as followes...

Should I get a pro audio amp for price factor? (Crown, QVC etc.) Do people even do that for HA\HT? Price vs. power is an awesome ratio.

Next Q is...
Is there an amp that has optical in?

My ultimate amp choice would be a 2 ch. tube amp that drives 250 rms with optical in. I'm sure it's made but most likely VERY expensive. Any Ideas guys. Thanks
Austin
