HIGH end 7 channel amp

Hi, I am in search of some of the best 7 channel amps. Unfortunately it needs to be 7 channels. Many good amps on the market only have 5 or less channels which leaves quite a few out of the equation

Then theres the many companys that make 6 channel amps??? Are not all procesors 5.1 or 7.1. I don't get that but thats for another discussion.

I have been intersted in the....

Mcintosh mc-207
EAD powermaster 7300
Lexicon lx-7
Integra research rda-7
Arcam fmj p7
Sim audio Titan
Halcro mc70

I have no interest in the....

Odeon
Theta
Krell

Again, it needs to be 7 channel. I am looking for a neutral or warmer then neutral amp. Thanks for your help.

The Gemstone is neutral as an amp should be, but may not be to the taste of individuals that prefer a warmer or colored sound.

It is very natual and smooth to my hears. I like that the highs and female voices have no harshness or ear fatigue. Thats why I have been playing with interconnects, speakercables arangment etc. to try to get rid of the problem of the hum I am getting. Others seem to be using it to good effect. Seems like it may be my system and or room? Anyway, the sim is comparable though I am curious about their big boy the titan. It's built quite different then the Aurora.

Sounds interesting, lots of power, Class D, one transformer, no idea how it will sound but it won't lack for power.
