Home Theater Amplifiers for More Powerful Sound

A home theater amplifier provides power to your speakers. Amplifiers can provide cleaner sound and more control when things get loud in a movie. They can also come in handy if you’re powering a lot of speakers and don’t want your receiver burning itself out.

For most people who want an easy way to power passive speakers while keeping streaming functionality simple, we recommend the Sonos Amp Class D 125W Wireless Amplifier. The Marantz MM7025 Amplifier is another simple option that adds power. If you have a bigger theater, the AudioControl Model D2800 Amplifier and AudioControl Savoy G4 Amplifier will provide more power for more demanding speakers.

The URC HDA-8100 Multi-Zone Amplifier is a good choice if you’re looking to pump audio to multiple rooms. The Primare A35.8 8ch x 150 watts Power Amplifier provides a dedicated theater with more channels. Finally, if you’re in the market for a high-end amplifier that’s meant to be used in serious installations, check out the Marantz AMP 10 Amplifier.

Getting an amplifier that's right for your system depends on your speakers, room size and how many channels you want. Just because you can power your speakers with more watts doesn’t always mean you should.
