But if you do have variable output, the Parasound will pound- I heard the Sonarray outdoor speakers demo'd and the ZAmp Quattro was used, outside- it kicked ass! Small, but potent.

You can use a larger zone amp with a generous TV box/enclosure, behind the display.

Unfortunately the TVs is already recessed into the wall and there is no more depth left behind to recess a box too.

That box looks to be exactly what I need for another job though!

Anyone know if they are available in the UK? A quick web search yields very little. Who makes that box? Is Versabox the product name or the company name?

Maybe this one?

While one may not think that this type of product is "commercial", it may be a viable solution in this situation.

Search the site for "audio amplifier" for additional suggestions. While this is a US site, I'm sure that similar DIY product available in the UK.

It looks like a great product. It's definitely a DIY product, meaning it's not in a box and it doesn't have an approved power supply (because it doesn't come with a power supply).

I'd do this at home, but I can't do it in a client's home because then I am personally responsible for any fire that happens to burn up that amp. If I ignore the liability issue, then I have to buy a chassis, locate some standoffs and other hardware, and either make holes for signal wires to go in and out (and grommet the holes), and work out the power supply connection -- is that a plug on a wall wart wire and a socket in the chassis, or just a wire passing through another hole in the chassis? Do you mount RCA jacks, too? Do you use a fuseholder? Now that you've got it assembled, can you get the PC board out for replacement without removing anything else? And since it's an admittedly KILLER product, a Class D amp, does it have output filters to keep the digital switching frequency from being broadcast from the speaker wires?

Those are the reasons I don't buy cheap little boards like this. The overhead makes it a $150 cost item.

The Russound is a solid solution.

If you have more budget and want something a little fancier, ADA also makes a badass room amp called the RAMP.
