Help Please recommend a 5ch amp around $2000

Well, I making the plunge into surround. I've been a long purist of stereo material, but figure it's time to enjoy movies in surround. This amp will be paired with a newly purchased Cary Cinema 11. Any thoughts, used or new. Top notch 2ch quality is a priority.

This is what I've come up with so far, any opinions? Thanks so much.

Proceed Amp5 used
Krell Showcase 5 used
Sunfire Cinema Grand used
Adcom 7605 new
Rotel 1075 new

The Cary Cinema 5 can be had for more than your 2k but not much more (used) - I replaced some very nice 2 channel products with the Cary and I honestly can not believe how good it is.

Parker, what did you replace the Earthquake with? What are your thoughts on its sound...is it bright in the upper frequencies at all?

Jimmy, ideally I'd love a Cinema 5, but NEW, it's quite expensive. I haven't seen any USED available. Any thoughts on where to look? What kind of price range would I expect?
