Personally, I have a 2CH/HT setup and I have an amp for the fronts and an amp for the center and surrounds. I think the most critical is the front channel amp.
I also have a TM for processor, but have the new 8000 and it is working really well with my Classe CA3000 on fronts and an Adcom on the others. Just something to think about.

The only advice to offer is that I would think any multichannel amp is aimed at HT sound reproduction and not so focused on 2CH/music reproduction. I have no clue if there is any fact in that assumption, but that is what I would assume and to get really good 2CH sound, a 2CH amp is in order. AND a 2CH amp that gives you the TYPE of sound you like - analytical and detailed or warm or whatever.
