Best LME49810 chipamp kit?

[edba2000]

My goal is to build a 5.1 system and get the audio from a HTPC soundcard. The volume control will be done by a passive preamp and the subwoofer will be active (+/-100W). As I already have a stereo power amp for the front speakers, I am looking for a cheap way to power the rear and the center speakers.

I have found that the LME49810 chip amp would be a great choice. It it true? Are there any good kits available (in europe)?

Should I choose another chip?

thanks in advance.

If cost is a concern you may want to use the LM3886 for a cheap alternative. Good sound with few external components.

Thanks for the answers!

What about the 41Hz kits? I am always finding so much different opinions... Wich are the best sounding, the Tripath or the GainClone?

I prefer to pay a bit more for a better sounding option.

What is the best webstore to buy the GainClone kits in Europe?
The http://www.chipamp.com/ has great DIY kits but I think I will need to pay extra taxes for the importing process.

Thanks again.
