ATI 2005 or Emotiva EPA-5

I need an amp to power my center and surrounds. I have a Classse CA2200 for stereo and want to fill in the rest. I like made in in North America but not if I'm wasting money. The numbers for the ATI are great, the Emotiva's are good and the price is better. I would like an amp with enough power to enable me to have flexibility down the road for any speakers I use. What do you think? $2000 or less, used is ok.
Thanks.

I would go with te ATI . The voltage gain on a Classe is 28DB , The voltage gain on an ATI balaned is 28dB

The Emotiva 's voltage gain is 32DB . That means calibrating your sysytem is alot trickier with an Emotiva , because at a standard volume , an Emotiva will play louder .
