Re: need 5 channel amp recomendations

What's most important to you first? Music or video? I had limited funds, enough to buy either an average 5 channel amp, or stretch to something better (for me, the 8008BB was a stretch cost wise). My primary use then was 2 channel music, so I decided to get as good of an amp I could for the front left & right, and an inexpensive, used Acurus 3 channel amp for my center & surrounds. A couple of years later, I traded in that amp for the 8008X3.

IMHO, I don't think spending big $$'s for surround speaker amps is all that necessary. Usually, the LF for those channels is routed to a sub, and I at least do not have audiophile quality surround speakers. OTOH, if you've spent the big $$'s for superior surround speakers, the ones that could benefit from a great amp, you can also afford a suitable (probably hi priced) amp.

Alternatively, you could look for a great 3 channel amp, for the front three speakers. Again, my opinion, for what it is worth to you, is that the surrounds don't necessarily need expensive amps.
