Hi Bazmataz, There are some guys who post at this site who have more experience with 5 channel amps than I do but, I have an friend who has an ATI 5 channel amp and likes it very much. They retail for around $1800 and might be found for grand if you look for a while. I think it won the Gold award( 2nd, place) in Stereophile Guide to Home Theaters' recommended components issue). Good luck. Keep us posted.
HT ADVICE plz and bst 5ch amp for ~$1k
hi all - i've got a lexicon dc-1 pre/processor, Krell KAV-250a, JM Labs SW38A sub, B&W 804, 805, HTM-1 setup and need 5 channels of amplification to complete my logic-7 system (2 rears, center and 2 sides). I've got about $1k left - would appreciate opinions on which amp to buy (I'll buy used) and/or other setup options. I like the bass slam of the Krell (love it, actually!) and would like a slammin' 5 ch amp, since it will feed center and effects mostly, not music). Thanks all!
