Best 3 to 6 channel amp for around $1000 - $1500

Looking for at least three channels of amplification for around $1200 or so, but willing to go a bit higher if necessary. Any thoughts?

Set up is 50/50 music and theater, using modified Odyssey Stratos for R&L. I sold my ATI 1506 a while ago, and am looking to replace it with something a little sweeter, more musical, less sterile.

Would like 5 channels to allow for upgrade to 7.1, but need at least 3.

ALL HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Thanks,

Dan

I would highly recommend butler audio. they have 2,3, and 5channel amps that are superb. Look up butler on audiogon after checking out their website. I have a 3 channel and to me it sounds better than jeff rowland 501 s. You can get the three channel new for 1800, i did.

You might consider a Sherbourn 5/1500A. I've had one for a few years now and love it. It can drive just about any speaker.

Will check out Butler - never really thought about tubes...

Any solid state suggestions? Again, I am going without surround, and need advice ASAP. Am kind of all over the place about what I should do... All help appreciated.
