Rebuilding a secondary 5.1 HT setup that took a direct lighting strike. Insurance is taking care of the equipment replacement. System was geared on the budget side using Polk monitor series speakers 70/cs2/40. Insurance spec and replaced the speakers with Polk's lsim series. They also replaced the vsx-1021 with a SC-1222.
After listening to the lsim 705's, the 1222 seems to be lacking in power needed. I added a SS DA.1 to the mix which changed the dynamics of the 705's completely. I wish not to use my SS gear on this setup.
Any suggestions on a reliable good quality 5.1 amplifier at 200 watts@ 8ohm for around $300-500 new or used?
