McIntosh 1.2kw is probably the best value/performance amp(these are monos). There are budget oriented choices as well depending on what you need to accomplish. For even more superior luxury if you use Mac C4* preamp with multiple outputs, you can actually bi-amplify with Mac components and have 1.2kW Mac stack per each speaker. Prepare to allocate a dedicated power line as important necessity just for amps.
As to stereo vs. mono I wouldn't realy care. On the first hand 600W per side might not be enough, but if driven by recommended Mac, it's the whole different beast... If biamplified with the same(two monoblocks per each speaker), you can place the system inside the movie theater.
