HT ADVICE plz and bst 5ch amp for ~$1k
hi all - i've got a lexicon dc-1 pre/processor, Krell KAV-250a, JM Labs SW38A sub, B&W 804, 805, HTM-1 setup and need 5 channels of amplification to complete my logic-7 system (2 rears, center and 2 sides). I've got about $1k left - would appreciate opinions on which amp to buy (I'll buy used) and/or other setup options. I like the bass slam of the Krell (love it, actually!) and would like a slammin' 5 ch amp, since it will feed center and effects mostly, not music). Thanks all!
