Audiophile multi-channel amp?


I'm looking for a really good sounding mulichannel amp that first and foremost sounds good for music, but will also be used for HT as well. I'm currently using a Outlaw Model-755 which is pretty good, but I'm looking to upgrade.

My budget is $2500, five or seven channels O.K. I realize at this price range I'll more than likely have to buy used.

Associate equipment: Naim CD5i, Sony NS999ES DVDP, Arcam AVP-700 pre-processor, Energy Veritas 2.3i speakers.

Recommendations?

Second the Theta Dreadnaught one. Gives a host of stand alone two channel amplifiers a real run for the money. Not sure you can find one for $2,500 but for not much beyond your budget you'll be getting some killer two channel, (musical) performance.
