Looking for a 5 channel amp that is warm sounding

I currently have a Monitor Audio Gold GR series 5.1 setup. I am running it with a HK DPR-2005 receiver, which is their higher end digital amp (it has been since discontinued). Maybe this receiver is the root of my problems, but the only thing I am not thrilled about my speakers, is the highs have a slight edge to them; maybe a little bright.

I am looking in the $700-1200 range used. If I can find what I am looking for in a 3 channel amp, I would certainly be willing to go that route as well.

Am I barking up the wrong tree in trying to find an amp for my solution, or should I start from scratch and get new speakers?

Thanks
Greg

I'll chime in on the Parasound 2205. I've lived with this amp for several years without a glitch, just make sure you give it plenty of room to breathe or use fans if it will be installed in a cabinet. Gobs of power for music and movies. Warm midrange and good bass slam, it should match up nice with the MA's, as they tend to have plenty of treble energy. At that pricepoint the reliable and proven Parasound amps are tough to beat. If you buy used Parasound will still stand behind the product-EXCELLENT customer service.

Now is a good time to change your pre-pro.Take a look at the new offerings from Marantz or Pioneer.There is a silver used Arcam AVP350 on A,gon right now,that would be my first choice for used units(very good for music and HT). Good luck.
