any thoughts on them? i will be powering a pair of Polk RTi10's with it.


i am in the process of building home audio set up .... 70 music/30 movies i am just an educator right now so i am on a budget i will be using my old school onkyo as the receiver for now.

any other thoughts on a 2 channel amplifier 150w per channel @ 8 ohm for under 1000?

Amp options

There are plenty of amplifier options in your budget. Check out audiogon for deals on a used Rotel, Adcom, or parasound amp.
Also, the Behringer A500 should be more than adequate for your Polks and is only $180 new.

A couple of Outlaw monoblocks would work nicely with the 10s: http://www.outlawaudio.com/products/2200.html
There's also a member selling a Carver TFM-35 that would work as well: http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27613

I just picked up a TFM 35 from ebay. It works wonders on Polks, extremely warm, detailed and powerful. It will tame those RTi tweets...good price too.

NAD C272 - 2X150W, 8 ohm, exactly what you're asking.
But look at the headroom:

IHF dynamic headroom at 8ohms 2.3 dB
IHF dynamic power 8 ohms 230W (23.42dBW)
4 ohms 410W (25.31dBW)
2 ohms 520W (26.62dBW)
