I need an amp to compliment my new Outlaw 990 pre/pro!
Problem is...I need specific things and I haven't found one with everything I need. Here's my IDEAL amp:
1) 7 channels, at least 100 watts per channel
2) Level control for EACH channel (this is the most important thing)
3) Balanced inputs with input 'sharing'.
Here's what I need to do...I need an amp to drive my center speaker and 2 rears. I also want to bi-amp them, so I need six channels. This is where the 'input sharing' comes in. One cable needs to feed two channels. I'm not even sure if such a thing exists, so I might have to forget about the balanced inputs and just use regular inputs with a Y adapter.
The most important thing is having a level control for each channel so I can control the level of the tweeters seperately. Even if it's not a 7 channel I could make it work with a 5 channel (bi-amping the rears is not a requirement, but bi-amping the center IS) or a 3 channel amp (actually two of them). But the level control seems to be a rare thing on new amps.
I'm probably going to look used for moneys sake, I'm just not sure which models to look for.
