Need help in picking a 300w 7channel amp.

I have a 7.1 system with Definitive Technology speakers throughout (their best 7000 bipolars up front). Sounds great but I entertain a lot and at times need major volume. My Rotel 200wpc has failed me for the last time. I want to upgrade to something better and more powerful. The Lexicon ZX-7 has been mentioned. I want a 7 channel amp. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Price range is under $7500. Thanks,

You might look at the MC207 from Mcintosh. I can tell you from experience that many companys rate their amps as having more power than they really deliver. The Mc has 200 (4 or 8 ohm)per channel which I realize is 100 shy of your indicated 300.
But McIntosh amps deliver a strong 200 watts that can deliver more on transients than some other amps claim to.
Again I realize the 200 is not 300 but I think you might be suprised if you can get an in home demo arranged.
