B&K makes nice stuff, there is better out there but at what cost. I use a B&K 7250 5 channel 200watt is very nice, but Cornfedboy is asking the right question. What are you trying to Acheive 5.1 DD, DTS, EX, or surrond 7. And howmuch room do you have is a 100w enough, do you need more power. The B&K Av5000 or even the Av2500 is plenty if you have a small room.
Look for Used Aragon 8008x2 and/or 8008x3.
In a open system the sonic differences from these amps and the big dollar amps is small. VARY NICE Amps
