multichannel amplifier for B&W 805 S


Hi
I have a pair of B&W 805S speakers and would like to buy a multichannel pre/amp for them. I would like to build a home theater system later by including more speakers.
Can you please suggest a suitable equipment. My budget is 2,500$ for the amp( including second hand,demo,etc equipment).I donot want to compromise on the music quality.

Thanks
Bob

I agree with Jmpwme. I have a complete CAL 2500 setup and the amp is a beast once you have a dedicate 20amp circuit for it. My setup is 804N(F) HTM1(C) and 805N(R). For the price, I think it's totally a steal for MCA2500 at $2500 used. It litterly will drive anything. To give you an idea, i've owned Bryston 4BST, 7BST, Citation 7.1, Adcom, Sunfire and Krell and nothing comes close to the MCA2500.
