tldr; Budget 3-channel power amp with 150W per channel. Clean power for LCR. Best value external amplification.

Best praise vs top criticism for Emotiva BasX A3
“I use an A3 for my front stage to support a 7.2.4 setup and it's super simple and works well”
“Really no need for that Emotiva. The 6700H has more than enough output to drive those speakers. See if he’ll separate that out. Personally I did not like the sound of the R-34C. I bought one on marketplace and used it for about a month and then resold it. The R Line is priced ok for entry level, but spending just a bit more could net you much better sound.”
