new amp to pair with 8802a

@kiwisurfie I don't know if there is any sonic difference but I know the OSD 5 channel amps were recently on sale. Maybe get 2 of those and sell the 8807?

Crown, Outlaw and Monolith are excellent options that wont break the bank.

hi, i currently have my 8802 paired with the 8807 7 channel power amp. I am loking to increase the number of channels to 10. What do folks think would be a good choice to pair with my existing equipment or should i look at ditching the 8077 and get two outlaw power amps for example. I am running kef r series speakers all around.
cheers

I have a Marantz 8802a and I recently bought a OSD Nero XA5180 and it's currently powering two surrounds and the woofer section of my bi-amped center channel. The OSD is well built, very heavy, and surprised me how well it sounded sonically. I have an Emotiva LPA-1 to compare it to. The OSD will also power two Atmos speakers by the end of this week. But what I'm not a fan of are the recent price hikes OSD has done on the amp, in March it was $580 and now it's currently up to $730. I managed to get one on sale for $600 a little over a month ago. The OSD is a well built Outlaw 5000x clone, but with the recent price hikes the price difference between the two has narrowed.
