Seperates vs Sunfire Ultimate Receiver

Best 200 watt x 5 amp for the money?
I went from a krell kav 500 to the sherbourn 5210, the sherbourn is the best bang for the buck out there , IMO, bridgeable, dual power cords , individual transformers for each channel, quit, and very smooth sound, it has cured me of big money amps...
