    Hi all, first post from me. :)

    Right, I have a pair of Mission 753's, some 751's as rears and a 75C centre speaker.

    Basically, I have no idea what amp/amps to use. Does anybody have any recommendations? Bi- amp them or not?

    My main thing is dance/bass heavy music, with the odd bit of film watching thrown in.

    I am also thinking of getting a BK Monolith sub to go with the missions.

    Any input would be greatly appreciated! !:D:D

    Are you looking for a multi-channel surround amp?

    Well you could get a surround processor and connect separate power amps for each pair of speakers, but this is usually quite expensive. If I were you I'd look at getting a surround amp (AV amp) with all that is needed inside to power the speakers.

    So what is your budget?

    Arcam, Marantz and Pioneer are famous for AV amps. They all make very good stuff.

    Well I have a budget of around £500-700, dont mind picking a secondhand unit up.

    Would like something that would do the speakers justice, nice sound quality etc. and have the power to feed them.

    These are the specs of them..

    To be honest, my system consists of a pair of technics 1200's, a pair of numark CD players and a multimedia PC, all plugged into a behringer mixer. This then has one line level output to the amp.

    :D:D
