5 Channel Amp for under $2k?

I've been slowly assembling a new system after inheriting some older equipment, which reinspired my interest in audio gear. I've put together a few nice pieces (Aragon Soundstage Pre-Pro, Joseph Audio RM7Si speakers, Denon 2900) but I think my weak link is my 'inherited' amps (Carver & Hafler... each 10+ years old).

I listen to a lot of music (both two channel and newer 5.1 mixes), but we also watch a lot of movies (thanks to NetFlix).

I'm looking for a good 5 channel amp (or combo of other amps) for under $2k. I've investigated the used market for Krell KAV 500, Sunfire Cinema Grand Sig, Parasound Halo A52, and EarthQuake Cinenova.

Since I live in HI, auditioning these isn't very feasible so I'm hoping to get some strong recommendations before venturing into the 'used' market, or if there are new products that would rival these ... I'm all ears!

Thanks!

Anybody have experience with Odyssey Designs Stratos products? I've been reading rave reviews, and spoke to Klaus who definitely does a good job of selling the craftmanship that goes into these.

Since they offer a trial basis (something harder to find here in HI) was considering giving this a try.

Hopefully somebody has heard these.

Thanks again.
