I have a friend who is going hog wild installing a 22 channel home theater setup using 92dB sensitivity ML speakers all around. ML electrostatic panels for the bed speakers (700 watt peak rating/4ohm) and ML bookshelves for the surrounds.
He is buying a SoundStorm processor and it will be a 11.3.8 setup.
He’s evaluating amplifiers for his build.
What recommendations do you make for this type of setup. Noise floor will be important for this many amps/speakers so his room isn’t a hissing mess. Budget isn’t the main focus, but it isn’t a unlimited funds build either. He is willing to pay to the point of significant diminished returns. He is thinking of using Cherry amps for his front three, and perhaps the higher end well reviewed monoprice amps for all other channels.
What suggestions would you pass on? I’ll link him to this thread. He doesn’t have an account here yet, but I’ve mentioned this is a solid place to learn.
