I have a pair of JBL 530 leftover after I upgraded my living room 7.1 setup. What is the best Stereo AMP for JBL 530 under $100? I don't want to spend a lot on this because this will be used only in my bathroom and we'll listen to music on this only during showering in the bathroom.

for the bathroom I think you will want a speaker and amplifier that are not susceptible to humidity.

Bad idea to have the 530s in a bathroom. Buy a cheap Bluetooth speaker and connect to your phone.

Why do you think it's a bad idea to have the 530s in a bathroom? I thought of buying a cheap Bluetooth speaker but then I have to sell JBL 530. People going to take only if I sell 50% of the original price. So, I thought be may buy a stereo amp for $50 to $100 and use it.

In a bathroom, speakers should be able to stand humidity. You need loudspeakers which are weatherproof.

I'm not in a bathroom long enough to appreciate any sound in there, will be the last room I'll add audio into in any case, rather have the kitchen setup instead, which is probably my next "room" after some work I need to do in there on counters/floor.

As to a cheap amp if space isn't a big deal, I'd probably cruise craigslist for a used receiver of some sort. Maybe something like this (or review the other testing they've done on similar inexpensive amps) for something small.

You have to eliminate fiber from your diet to produce the thunder from down under.

Think cannon ball sized opiate turds crowning after a 2 week gestation period.

You can do it.
