You want tubes at that price? That will be next to impossible unless you investigate the used market. Even then, I have serious reservations that you would be able to hit the price point.For HT, with 88dB sensitivity speakers I'd say you'll want a minimum of 100wpc, with more than that being better.
750 per stereo pair would mean a budget of around $1800 / 2000 for 5 channels.
I would give a serious consideration to heading over to UBid to check out an Aragon 8008x5 amplifier, which is being sold off by Klipsch to make room for the new cosmetics units.
This will do a very good job, and the 8008 circuit is great sounding.
