A while back some of you guys were discussion running HiFi speakers with DP's and you were mentioning some amplifiers you can get online direct that were good and reasonably priced. I can't find the thread. If you remember it can any of you point me in the right direction ?

I'd buy from ebay. You have a local Oz version ebay, yes?
Prices here in the US are quite reasonable.

This thread looks relevant(?): Best $210 sound system for my P155.

Thanks guys but it wasn't any of those, it was like a online store that sold these noname brand power amps for about $100 that a few guys were recommending.

Keyboard amps? Usually people here recommend against them, unless you are using them in an environment where sound quality is not paramount and portability is.

I don't believe Dr Popper is referring to keyboard amps.

Oops, duh, he was talking about hi fi. Sorry, responded before reading more carefully.

I hate that the word "amp" is used for both powered speakers and signal amplifiers. I made the opposite mistake recently in a different thread.

I'm not familiar with the previous thread about inexpensive amps, but it may be worthwhile to check out PartsExpress, which carries inexpensive PylePro and Lepai amps:

Strange. I never think of terms like "reasonably priced" and "cheap" as part of the Doc's vocabulary. I think some poser has hacked his account!

Yes a mere punter looking for a solution

BTW I'm VERY cheap .... a lot of gear are "acquisitions" rather then purchases
