Nuforce AVP 16 - what amp(s) to pair it with?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I just picked up a Nuforce AVP 16 from Agon and I'm looking for a 5 channel amp to pair it with (maybe a 7 ch to bi-amp my front L/R speakers). Balanced inputs for the front line is a plus (but not required). Would also consider going 3+2 or 3+2+2 channels (but that may send me over budget).

Price range is $1-2K (open to new or used). Moving from 2 channel to multi and I'm hoping to select an amp(s) that will hold it's own in the event that I decide to upgrade from the AVP16 in the future.

Any thoughts / recommendations on your success (or failure) on pairing amps with the AVP16 would be greatly appreciated.

Current system is:

Linn Majik Integrated
Sony SCD-333ES SACD
AR/XA RB250 turntable
Creek OBH-8 phono pre
Linn Keilidh (L/R fronts)
Linn Centrik (center)
Linn AV5110 (rears)

I have my AVP-16 connected to a Gemstone Blue Diamond 7-ch amp, but that runs in the $2500-2800 range new, and I've only ever seen a couple of used ones down in the mid to upper teens. There are several amps you could pickup used in that price range that would serve you well. Check out some other amp threads here for ideas. And the usual demo and listen for yourself advice still applies...
