If your going to this years Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, VMPS is going to be doing a lot of live music in a big room using the RM-60 speakers, several vmps subs, and Atmasphere amps and preamp.Good chance to do the live vs recorded ear test.Dave 
SS Amps that are NOT warm and euphonic ?
Try the Krell KAV series, good bass and lots of detail. I had one a few years back and it sounded nothing like the older warmer (Krell Ksa-250) that I also had at the time...I prefer warmer.The Kav 250 may be right up you alley?Dave

Rookie Question regarding 3 channel amp.
No, don't do that. You need a 4 channel amp...or two stereo amps. You could pick up one two channel amp that matches your three channel amp, and use two of the three channels to go with that (third channel not used)Dave
