Re: need 5 channel amp recomendations

Oh God, I thought of one other route.

Consider instead getting monoblocks all around. For the money, I like Marantz's. They have two models, which I understand differ just in power ratings (the higher powered ones of course cost more). But, either way, they don't cost a lot. So, you could start with the 2 or 3 of the high powered units, and then buy more (of the same rating, or the less expensive lower powered units) over time.

One of the problems with this route is all the power cords you'd have to deal with. But otherwise, it would give you a lot of flexibility, both in spreading out the cost of your investment over time, and in placement of the amps (you could put them all together and have long speaker wire runs, or place one by each speaker, and use short runs of speaker wire, which is supposedly better).

That's it. Think we've covered all the various ways you could go. Hope this has been helpful, not confusing. Good luck.
