I need advice on my first step into separates. B&W

I have an Onkyo 696 with B&W 7nt in front and 1nt in back. Id like to buy a 2 channel amp to enhance 2 channel listening and use the onkyo as the pre/pro. Eventually picking up a 3 channel for center and rears. Or maybe 3 then 2 or even 5 channel. Everyone says Rotel but what are other choices. Id like to spend up to $1000.
TIA

I used an Anthem AMP2SE for about a year with my CDM7NTs. Seemed to be a really nice match. Plenty of power (200W/ch)and the speakers really shined. I only sold the amp to purchase a VAC PA100/100.
You may also want to look into getting a good 2 channel pre-amp with HT pass-through. Then just use the Onkyo as a pre/pro for HT and use it to also drive your center and rear speakers.
