Inexpensive 2-channel amp

[cjschrot]

Looking to connect Sony 46XBR3 to a pair of Orb speakers. Need a simple 2-channel amp to do the job. Any tips?

I think a behringer a500 will do the job perfectly and for a great price.

Emotiva Bpa-1. 179.00 (2x75watts).

How cheap is inexpensive? You can get Audiosource ($100 or less) amps quite inexpensively and they are pretty decent. Emotiva makes a small one also.

Agreed. If you wait one more day, it'll be on sale.

BTW Orbs are nice, but I liked (and bought) the Gallos because the binding posts are of much higher quality.

Looks like it is essentially a clone of the BPA-1!

(I'm losing my mind. I could have swore that I posted a response to this about an hour ago. Oh, well...one more try.)

Indeed! If you look at the pictures, even the fans are the same. It looks like the only difference other than cosmetic is that the Dayton has a user selectable input voltage switch, but I like the looks of the Emotiva better.

Chinese ingenuity at it's best my friends!
