b&k reference 200.7 price?

What would be a good price for this series 1 amp? i have a possible chance to pick one up. i am running b&w 804 in my home theater.... would this be a good match up? i really do jot have the money right now for any Macintosh or other high end amps... about $1,000 is where he is at. Are there something better in that price range? i run 5.1 not 7.
thanks

Shakedown you run 5.1 or 7.1.... also if you use 5.1 do you biamp? can it be done?
If i go to pick it up any ways to make sure it works correctly besides just making sure all channels put out power?
thanks

I doubt it... he lives about an hour and a half away.... my system is pretty heavy and he doesn't seem that eager. good idea though

Why not bi wire? i have heard both sides just want to know your stance

Since i just run 5 channel, i was trying to figure out what to do with the other 2. biamp was just a thought.

Bill,
just noticed you are a bill as well. acurus is not a brand that i am familiar with, i havent really read anyone pairing it up with b&w 's before... Do you like the sound better than the b&k you used to use?
Thank you

The emotiva xpa 5 is only $810.00 brand new? should i be happy or scared of an amp in that price? also i was reading that my 804s might go down to the 3 ohm range for a second or two should i make sure my amp can as well?

I am currently running a pioneer elite and i would use it with the pre outs to a stand alone amp

Should i worry about the p5 putting out 325 watts a side at 8 ohms. when the max on my speaker is 200? am i going to blow up my speakers?

Thank you... i hope that the sound quality is so much improved that it will be an obvious upgrade. besides the amp not working as it should that is my only fear. i know people say that separates make a HUGE difference i hope that it a true statement.
