Mcintosh amp suggestion

I have a fairly modest system, currently running an Onkyo Rz50 AVR into a Monolith (ATI) 5 channel amp and then into a 5 channel Klipsch heritage system (La Scsla/Heresy). 

I bought the Monolith Amp when I had the Klipsch RF-7iii which needed a good bit of power to sound their best.  Now that I've sold the Rf7 and just have the La Scala I'm wondering if the Monolith Amp is necessary. 

This systen is primarily home theater/gaming with some music listening mixed in. I have always wanted the blue power meters of the McIntosh and was wondering which amps I might consider? 

2 channel is probably fine, I can run the rest off my Avr.  Multi channel would be great as well as some type of trigger.  Something in the 2000-2500 range would be ideal.  I found the mc2505.  Anything else that might fit well in my system?

thanks for the thoughts.  I'm about 90% gaming and movies on this system, hence the AVR.  I do want music to sound good, for sure, but I'm not quite to the point yet of getting a higher end AVR that might improve the music.

Wasn't aware the meters were sold separately.

I guess I'm just perhaps looking for something a bit more "boutique-ish" if that's even a thing.  I'm sure the Monolith/ATI is fine and I doubt I'll probably even hear a difference putting in something else, but it sure would be cool to have a McIntosh amp in the rack.  Have always drooled over them.
