    Help & Advice on Cinema Amplifiers

    Hello,

    I have a set of Linn Solo's, 4 in total. I am upgrading my HIFI and considering adding a 5th Solo and migrating this system to my cinema room.

    Therein I will use 4x standmounted Sonus Faber Sopra1's and a Focal centre, with a dedicated subwoofer for the bass.

    Could I ask for the forum's opinion of the suitability of these electronics for driving this system?

    David.

    David i run 3 mono class d amps across my 3 front channels (Bel Canto Ref 600M)- they are similar power to the Solo's i think. For the rears i use a stereo 150 w Bel Canto amp.

    I run SF Cremona all round. Floorstanders at front, centre and for rears and augment with Marten Sub.

    I think u will be absolutely fine with your proposal. Indeed u may not need all that power at the back - esp if u cut everything at 80Hz and send that to your sub.

    I always argue that the centre channel and everything that hangs off it is the most important element in ur HT. 90% of all the info comes out of it as well as the dialogue which is the hardest thing to get right and sound real/natural.

    Are u using a Linn processor or something new?
