Thanks for the responses.? I've used Clare Controls (Snap AV) 16 channel amp before and it has been decent.? I had a hissing when I used the BUS input as the source, which was painful to discover, but when sources were direct, it sounded absolutely fine for background audio purposes as well as playing TV and other sources at a reasonable volume.
The RTI looks like a real winner.? Not sure if I want to go through becoming a dealer to just try and get one product from them.? But, that's not a product I've seen before and really hits the mark in terms of size/performance.
A shame that stupid C4 amp is unreliable.? The size and performance is perfectly fine for what I'm looking for.? Sigh...? I might still try to pick one up.? They aren't going for much used.
I guess a smaller 8-channel amp (or two) would work as well, but all amps seem to run into the same issue with depth for most units.? *sigh*
