I don't know much about the Monoprice amp but will warn you against a couple of multichannel Mc amps that may come up in your search. Keep away from the 7106 and 7108. The 7106 was the worst sounding amp to ever cross my doorway.
If you're willing to purchase used and aren't too hung up on logos, the Emotiva IPS-1 is a great 7 channel unit. Well built, fantastic value. You could probably find one for $800 these days.
