The cost is more? There must be 3 or more EAD Ovations for sale here (note: including mine) that are AMAZING in 2-channel and great in 5 channel. They all go for less than $2000. I'm sure there are plenty of alternatives, too. For your remaining $2000, look for a powermaster 1000, 200w/5channel. There's one for sale right now for $1800. It'll distribute all power to 2 channels when playing CDs, but it'll spread even power to all 5 when watching a movie. These are GREAT components. The guy selling the powermaster 1000 also has an encore proc for sale and is willing to sell BOTH for $3100. You have PLENTY of choices to go separates if you'd like.
