I am looking for an amplifier (that can work without a preamp) that is
simple and perferablly compact with the following specs:
At least one stereo channel to drive two 100 watt 8 ohm speakers
Single volume control for stereo channel (not a separate volume control for
L/R channels)
Headphone jack would be a plus
Parasound's Zamp v.3 (
http://www.parasound.com/zcustom/zampv3.php) is close
except that it only drives 45Wx2 and does not have a single volume control
(it has separate volume controls -- one for L channel and one for R
channel). But it is compact and has the headphone jack.
I've looked into Audiosource's amps, but they need a pre-amp, have no
headphone jacks and also separate volume control into L/R channel
configurations.
Currenty I am using an Onkyo TX-8511, but it is a full fledge stereo
receiver and has much more than I need -- several inputs, a tuner, etc. I
would love to shrink this down in size and stick with the basics above.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
*thanks*
Dave
