Take a look at Amplifier Technology Inc (ATI) amps. I picked up an ATI 3007 7 channel amp recently - 300 watts @ 8 ohms. They are the same company that owns Theta now. Built like a tank, tons of power, fully balanced design and sounds great. You can crank this amp and it doesn't run out of steam. 7 monoblock amps in chasis, two big toroidal transformers, high current, 143 lb beast.
I think you can get the ATI for about $4995 new, and I purchased mine slightly used for half of new.
Other recommendation is Earthquake Cinenova 7 channel - 321 watts @ 8 ohms - I think you can get one around $3-4K new.
I highly recommend the ATI - Great amp, great value
