Limited?? Try non-existant.....not brand new at that price point from a decent brand.....used, sure, there are probably 3 or 4 in the For Sale Section at any given moment.....

Tried to edit my last post but apparently I type too slow.....

Found this thread with a great choice for your first amp....the MTX would work well on your front speakers and a sub for now....when you upgrade the fronts that amp can be bridged into 160w X 2, which is plenty to run a front stage......

Here is a suggestion then. Go find a used amp, ignore the power rating of it and using a black sharpie marker, write 1000watts on the top. Why? Because that is what those guys that are selling you the amp for $100 did. That is why you will find them in the flea market, bottom of the lake etc.....

becoz my speakers' 52RMS, so, 600w amp will offer around 50w rms
less 600w, it will be little bit weak

I have an old Kenwood 5 channel amp. 40W x 4, and 150W x 1 for a small subwoofer.

$40. It did have a ground issue. One of the RCA inputs has a wire soldered to the ground to alleviate that. You may or may not experience the same issue.

Does my math suck... or is 4 x 52rms not 208?

Why are you looking for a 600w amplifier if you only "need' 208w?
