There are currently a lot of fantastic choices out there. I just read reviews on Rotel and B&K 5-ch amps that indicated that they were very good for the price. I went with a Bryston 9BST for several reasons. The 20 year warranty is wonderful, and the sound and power reserve is absolutely amazing. I have driven my system to ridiculous levels (not my usual listening style, but I wanted to see what this amp would do when pushed) without the amp even so much as batting an eyelash. Smooth sound top-to-bottom with no sense of treble grit or strain. Well rounded with superior imaging and soundstaging. The build quality is fantastic and I couldn't be happier with the sound. Strongly recommended that you do NOT make a purchase without first auditioning the 9BST.
Hope this helped!
