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

My system is a mix at the moment. Mostly 2 channel, but still go to Home Theater from time to time especially for a few choice DVD concerts. My B&K drives my other external speakers via the Pioneer Elite SSP..Side surrounds, Center Channel and my other external speakers throughout house and outdoors via a speaker selector too...Currently got a Coda Integrated that runs my Front L & R speakers for the necessary power and drive plus its able to be bypassed for HT use.

You can Bi-amp but I don't think you will want to when you realize the ability of the B&K to drive your L&R 804 B&Ws plus your center and even your rear channels. You can bi-wire, but I would not suggest it, put your jumpsers in for the speaker terminals and run single wires to and fro....
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,

I think $1000.00 is just about right but a "minty" 200.7 may bring in $1200.00. As you probably know, gear prices are all over the board these days. The 200.7 is a very nice amp IMO. I have owned B&K mostly for the last 4 to 5 years and have been mostly satisfied. I recently sold my B&K amps and am running (2) Acurus A200FIVE's with my 5.2 Klipsch Reference setup. Considering selling one of my Acurus 5-channels and running just one if I can't find the right 2-channel Acurus. If you are interested in the A200FIVE(very minty), let me know and I will list it here on A-gon for less than the B&K 200.7.

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
