I have a Sunfire 5 channel 225 watts on my audio system, and I replaced an EAD Powermaster 2000 to reduce the heat output and the rack requirements for that 125lb amp. The Sunfire amps don't do anything wrong with the way they sound (No major sins of being Harsh, Bright, Edgy) but what I have found is they lack the imaging and some pace. Theta amp and EAD amplifier in multichannel would be good. I've had problems with transformers buzzing and humming (not connected to anything so it wasn't a ground humm) from multiple CJ's so your system will dictate whether it does this.
I would however say that Dave is correct you need to look at a good 2 channel preamp or a more musical processor, and then finally a more musical CD player if you don't change processors. Some of the best 2 channel audio you can get out of a processor is from the original EAD Signature which can be had for a bargain and used with your DVD as a transport.
Switching to a 2 channel or three channel amp (been there done that, can be an exercise in patience because of miss matched gain/input sensitivity), so make sure your processor can handle the volume gains. Back channels aren't a big deal, but most 3 channel amps are steps backward from what you already have!
