Looking for a 3-ch amp

[rdgrimes]

I'm looking for a 3-ch amp. 5-ch would be acceptable. But the caveat is that it has to be no more than 6" high and should offer ~200WPC at 8u. So far all I've really found is the older models from Carver.

Suggestion?

Electrocompaniet AW 3x123-M kind of fits the bill, but 120W of class A power is less than what you're looking for.

Easier to find would be a trio of Marantz MA700 monoblocks. 200W@8ohms, 300W@4ohms, 146mm tall.

Can vouch for Proceed AMP3 as something I enjoy.

Looks like another company that got swallowed up. They do look nice, wanna sell yours?

Wouldn't be a reliable recommendation if I did

They pop up now and then on eBay. Proximity helps
as most amps in this category are pretty heavy.

An Acurus A200X3 fits that description. American made and reliable. I happen to have one for sale. I only stopped using it because I went with an active crossover setup and wanted XLR connectors.

I'm assuming I'll need to wait for something to pop up on eBay. The Carver A-753X is another candidate.

Hmmm...
3 of the Outlaw 2200 monoblocks can stack in a 6" space.

Pretty much decided on the three Outlaw 2200 mono blocks. Close second was a used Rotel RMB-1066, (bridged for 3-ch), but I think its a bit too long in the tooth.

Just a quick follow up to extol the virtues of the Outlaw 2200 m-block. These are not to be taken lightly, they sound amazing. Highly recommended. More than enough poop to drive the most demanding speaker IMHO, dead quiet and ultra clear sound. I'm not going to stop with just 3 of these little gems.
