Help with amp selection


I'm looking to upgrade my Denon 3300 with seperate amps and was wondering if someone could give me a few suggestions.

My current setup consists of Boston Acoustics Lynnfield 300L as front speakers in a 5.1 setup with Boston VR40's in the rear and a subwoofer crossed over with the Denon's bass management at 80Hz. I'm mainly a home theater guy, but always stuck to the philosophy that if it sounds better with music it will home theater as well. Not a big fan of the THX standard other than cinema re-eq. I also use this system for 2-channel music as well.

I recently accquired the 300L's and they are fairly in efficient 85db I believe. I used to own an Aragon 2004MKII many years ago but had to sell when the wife and kids came along. I was thinking of trying to find some 2004's to hook up to the system, but wondered if anyone could recommend alternate brands. The Boston's can be a bit shrill in the highs, so I'm looking for an amp that has a warmer sound to it. I don't have much of an opportunity to demo amplifiers where I live. The nearest big city is Indianapolis and it's about 60-70 miles from smalltown USA. How would someone classify the Aragon's sound?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I look forward to participating and learning from this forum.

I just ordered the Stratos, it is supposed to be delivered on thursday. From what I've read, it is the way to go. Check out www.audioreview.com. How much do you want to spend? Are you comitted to a 2 ch. system? or will a 3 or 5 ch. be usable? I have a 5 ch. Carver AV-505 and I really like the sound. The reason for the Odyssey is to prepare for 7.1 and to have a really good Stereo AMP.

Good Luck
I'm thinking of starting out with a 2-channel and then buying a 5-channel later. I'd like to stay in the $600-800 range. I'd be more than happy with a used amp from the classified section when I decide what I want.
