Matching center channel amp?

[Audiophile Fred]

I'm currently using two Advantage S-150 with my front speakers and one Advantage S-150 amplifier with my rear speakers. Do anyone here have any suggestions for an matching amplifier to use with the center speaker?

The S-150 is not bridgeable and maybe the S-250 mono amp. is a bit overkill.

Not sure what you’re asking? If Advantage doesn’t make a mono amp with the same wattage as the S150, we certainly can’t conjure one up for you.

If that’s not what you mean by “matching,” then any name-brand mono 150 watt@ 8-ohms amp you can find will work just fine.

If you’re determined to stick with the Advantage brand, then get the S-150 and use only one channel. It won’t hurt the amp. Or get the mono S-250. it won’t hurt anything if you don’t use all the available power.

Well since you've already got the S150s on the corners, go for the S250 in the center if you want to have matching amps (i.e. same brand/series/price range). The center does most of the work anyways, so why not give it some more power?

I'm asking for suggestions of mono amplifiers or bridgeable ones in the same range and sound quality as my current amps. If available in silver it is a plus.

Of course using a S-250 won't hurt anything, quite rare and not so easy to get though. Both models are discontinued several years ago.

Quite rare and mainly sold in pairs, but if i can find an single one for the right price i will probably buy it. When this will happen i don't know so until then it would be nice with some options.

You could look at many amps....maybe ATI or Emotiva...

Emotiva could be an option, also thinking about a Primare amp.
