Small form factor amp

I am looking for a small form factor amplifier that can power two advent 25th anniversary limited edition speakers

all i will be using the amp for is getting music from my PC or phone, so it doesn't have to be fancy, hoping to not spend to much either, Thanks!

Schiit Magni. If you want a DAC too, go for the Modi. They're both 99 bucks.

What kind of output power do you require? Inputs?Budget? If its just 2 channels you need, I would highly recommend sherwood/cambridgeaudio stereo amps. Both are fairly low profile but the cambridge will perform better and is more $.

As far as I know small form factor amps is not too common as most people who buy amps are looking for sheer power which means beefy/bulky units.

 

However, I believe this would be ideal for you

I own a Parasound (New Classic series) Amp and Preamp myself and can personally vouch for build and sound quality.

yes but do you know if you can only use 2 speakers at a time without unplugging the wires, say i only want music inside...and not outside

I do not know, I have the 2 channel I linked earlier.

 

2 of the cheaper ones will work for what you want, there will just be an extra power cable and rca or 1/8" cable

you can use either the rca or the 1/8" as a passthrough to feed the other amp.

it may cost $5-$10 more this way, but I know it will work.

I would be careful with the lepai etc. amps, at high volume they can ruin your speakers through clipping.

Can't find much about your speakers and their efficiency though..

That second lepai you linked to looks like a car headunit.  And as Miracleman says be very careful you don't mess you speakers up.  Maybe you could look at an older stereo amp from a component system, they usually have speaker AB selectors so you can drive inside/outside or both. And you could get them from a pawn shop.

Older ones are too big for what i need it for.
