Autopatch 4YDM - Which Amp?

[myyaz33]

Posted this on another forum but thought I might get a response here. Anyway


I am getting ready to start work on zoned audio and decided on the AutoPatch 4YDM instead of a full zoned amp solution such as Russound or Nuvo. Anyway I was wondering what some of your are doing for an amplifier(s)?

I will have 8 zones and don't need a ton of power. I really don't like the idea of 8 receivers taking up space so I was thinking of modifying some T-Amps into a 19" rack project box or just finding an amp with 8 stereo channels built-in.

Any thoughts, suggestions?

Perhaps some small digital amplifiers?

Possibly, however I am thinking something like the SpeakerCraft BB835 would work fine. Cost wise, I don't think it would be that much different than building my own custom rack mounted amp.

That would definitely work! Nice to have it all packaged into one unit. RS-232 controllable too which is nice.
