quick help on small amp?

hi chaps,

I'm looking to provide a audio solution for a videowall at work.

I was planning on using some AMX 70w ceiling speakers connected to a amp which in turn pulls the audio from a amx digital signage player (3.5mm output).

My intention is to go 35.mm jack to RCA phono - into the amp - amp wired to speakers.

As all of this is going to be in the roof space, I'll need a amp with a remote (I'll then use a IR extender to allow the ir to work correctly)

Does anyone know of a good, cheap, small amp that will do the job I looking for?

budget is cheap, but I'm think £100 should be enough.

Any help is appreciated.

Many thanks

plenty of options for that price if you only want stereo? onkyo, cambridge audio and marantz all do stuff around that pricepoint.

True but can any of them be classed as small? I'm not sure i'd want a full size amp in my ceiling!

OP: How small are you talking? Pro-Ject do a good range of very small form factor devices but they're over budget unless you can find one second hand

tbh, not bothered on size.

just needs to do the simple function of amp one input and output to 2 speakers.

thanks

any small stereo amp should do then.

The Marantz PM6004 integrated amp has been getting some great reviews in What Hifi, it's fairly low profile and has plenty of power.
