Hi I need a help and a suggestion
I currently use marantz sr6015 avr
Left and Right - Acoustic 3050i
Center - Acoustics 3090 ci
Side & back surrounds - Acoustics 3010i
4 Atmos Ceiling Speakers - Acoustics qi 65c
Subwoofer - Acoustics 2070 Si
My Avr can power 9.2 channel and process upto 11.2 channels and I'm currently using a 7.1.4 setup
I just need a amp suggestion to power the 2 top rear Atmos speakers because getting an amp for LCR is getting out of budget .
So amp Suggestions please for which is best for my 2 Atmos speakers

Thanks for the suggestion 👍... I hope these amps won't degrade the audio quality, cause there aren't much reviews about these amps powering Atmos speakers

No the $87.89 one is probably the best for the price. The last one might have a little bit more noise but the other two will be fine. Atmos ceiling speakers don't take much to drive. That audio source amp100vs is fine also, the first two I posted are on par with that just a lot less money.

One other thing you may want to check before you purchase is if the amp has a trigger input - that way when you turn on your AVR the external amp will also power on with it vs. having to power on/off the external amp separately

I would look used. Plus you might have something older in you possession that will work fine. Any amp will do. Escpesially for the use intended. And if you have an old avr id be powering l/r with it

I personal preference is any old out dated AVR with decent amps. As long as you have a universal remote you can power it on off with your macro no trigger required
