Ok, theses are the ones I know of so far:

Focal FP 5.500

Audison 5.1k

Memphis MCH600

Memphis MCH1300

Zapco DC Ref DC650.6

Elemental Designs NINe.5

McIntosh MCC406M

JL Audio A6450

JL Audio 500/5

USAmps MD.41 - (appears to be 5 CH, web site is pretty hard to read!)

USAmps MD.42 - (appears to be 5 CH, web site is pretty hard to read!)

Looking for suggestions on good sounding amps, has anyone listened to theses amps, which ones sounded better than which? This is for a 5 speaker system, each speaker would get an amp channel, so it would be triamped....

Whatever you can afford. Your speakers and install should be priority the priority first.

power 1000 RF is a solid amp.....

If your 5-th channel is not the sub, your list should be shorter. Some of these amps are hybrid (like JL 500/5) with dedicated class-D sub channel, they may not be even capable of playing full-range on this channel.

Seems like all other amps are no where near the specs of the 5.1k ...

Those model us amps are 4 channels.

 

the 5 channel is the AX 5600.

Im getting a rockford 5 channel. its a beast!!!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i have a orion cs500.5 ( fist amp i ever had ) and it is true power, plus more. I just wish that the 5th channel could be set to high instead of full or sub.
