Respected home cinema specialist Parasound have launched a 12 channel power amp this week.
This is interesting due to the way the channels are independently configurable and can be mixed and matched for 12 independent channels or lower channel count with some of the modules bridged for more power. More details via the announcement at WHF magazine.
Flexible and future proofed for multi-channel or for actively driving multi-driver speakers (with a suitable active crossover of course).
