I had a height problem in addition to being a little concerned about how hot a five channel amp would run, and I settled for a Theta Intrepid. I've owned a boat load of amps over the years, and IMHO the Theta gets high marks for both 2 channel stereo and 5 channel surround sound.
It's only 6 1/4 inches high, 17 5/8 inches wide, and 20 1/2 inches deep. It runs luke warm to the touch in stereo, and after being driven hard in 5 channel, it's warm... but not anywhere near being hot.
It's got both RCA and XLR imputs, and turns out 100 watts rated @ 8 ohms with all five channels being driven.
As we speak, there's a Theta Intrepid on Audiogon for the asking price of $1,390 (it's not mine if you're wondering). The Theta might be what your looking for.
