Just playing with an idea here…. bear with me as I explain.
My set up is a little odd. As in, I use a Schiit Loki after the sources, source is selected via a Schiit Sys. Line level then goes from the Loki to either a Feliks Elise or a NAD C368 depending if I’m listening on headphones or speakers. I switch between the head amp and speaker amp manually i.e. disconnect one set of interconnects and connect the other, which is far from perfect.
The Feliks Elise is also a pre-amp. This has me thinking I could save a lot of hassle by losing the C368 and replacing it with a power amp that uses the Elise as a pre-amp. That would mean no need to switch interconnects between amps any longer!
I’m not keen on speaker switch boxes, so the power amp would need two sets of speaker connections; the amp drives a set of speakers in both the living room and the kitchen/dining room.
Ideally new, last amp I bought second hand has a left channel cut out issue which was there on purchase but I stupidly mistook for a streaming blip - that has put me off second hand purchases, I’m looking for power amp suggestions with two sets of speaker connections.
Fire away…
