So I'm babysitting a friends speakers whilst he goes travelling - they're Monitor Audio BR6s so pretty decent I think?
Anyway, he's given me a spare amp for the time being which is a Yamaha DSP-A2 so designed for surround sound plus it's the size of a house :D

I know nothing about amps and speakers but I do know that this amp is more for home theatre rather than TV and PS4 that ours gets used for.

Am I likely missing out on anything using this with just 2 main speakers? I presume its designed to work with at least 4 speakers and I cba with that to be honest, plus I don't have the room.

If I would be better off with a more dedicated stereo amp can anyone recommend me a decent slimline amp that I can pair with these speakers?

Feel free to educate me if what I've written is utter rubbish!

Thanks!
 
IIRC, the A2 was one of their big "throw the kitchen sink at it". I wouldn't be surprised if it actually sounds pretty good in stereo.

As for using more speakers, well clearly it's capable. The only question is whether you want to. Personally I prefer music in stereo, but that's just me.
 
Yea it's a hefty thing that's for sure! It does sound good for TV as that's all I've used it for so far, but as I'm a complete audio noob I wasn't sure if it would be trying to pump anything to speakers I don't have?
I don't want any more speakers at the moment that's for sure - I don't have space!
