A multi-channel amp approach that is musical

Is anyone familiar with a multi-channel amp what they have heard for an extended period of time that sounds ... well like music. I'm in the market for one for around 1200-1800 used. Any thoughts. Would 3, 2 channel amps work better with a better amp driving the front speakers (with the gain adjusted to match)? I don't need much power as I'm using PSB Platinum speakers for all 5 channels. I'm even considering 5, Quick Silver Mini-Mite monos. Another thought is an EAD 500.

I have a B&K 200x5, and to be honest, I am very happy with it. However, I have wondered the same thing: What is my ultimate goal for an amp? One that is true to music and still runs my system in 5.1 for movies?
Looking around at the options, and keeping price IN the equation since I have a family and a working man's income, I decided my next (and hopefully last) amp will be a Cary Cinema. Check out Cary. I think you have to spend a lot more money to find as musical a multi channel amp.
