Just out of interest why would you not look at the BeoAmp 16 and use B&O amplification for the BS Cores? It works a treat and only takes up 1U in an AV rack. You can bridge multiple outputs to one BS Core as well.

Here’s one on a rack below the Cores.

Of course I would have suggested that too.

I just thought the price difference was important to the op.

If not, then that is the way to go....it is designed for such cases.

What I could see so far is that the Dayton amplifier is much more flexible regarding settings than the BeoAmp 16 and I really like the two RCA Bus connection that is has. The Dayton amp also seems to give more power than the BeoAmp where each channel of the BeoAmp only has 25w (400w/16) meanwhile the Dayton gives 65-89w per channel.

Here are the specs of the BeoAmp 16 detailing power outputs per setting. I hope this is useful.

What does the BeoAmp 16 cost?

Beovirus victim, it's gotten to be too much to list!

Thanks! I think the AudioSource is a bit over $600 US by comparison. Last time I had anything to do with such an installation was multiple channels to drive speakers on a military training range, where we were using multichannel Crown Class D amps with 70volt transformers. So I am interested in what various options cost for home use now. The Crowns were pricey but they stood up to abuse well.

Hi. Found an other amplifier that looks interesting. Dayton Audio DAX66 with matrix audio function.

This one has 6 zones and is possible to control each zone with RS-232 commands.

Do you think it will be possible to send custom strings from BLGW to it?

Then maybe it maybe could be an ultimate amp to use for external speakers and ceiling speakers etc?
