Best Multi channel amp under $2,000 used or new

I have not heard the Arcam.I heard one of there receivers a few years ago and it sounded nice.

All things being equal,more power never hurts(except maybe the electric bill).I have had the 120 wpc X 5 Rotel 1075 and the 1095 is a big step up!!! It throws a larger soundstage and is more extended both top and bottom than the 1075.Bass is deeper and tighter.The big Rotel rivals the best solid state amps that I have had in my main theater system driving my Canton Karat M-70 speakers(and matching center).These amps include the Threshold t-400,Aragon 8008BB and 8008 X 3,Hafler 9505 with a bridged 9130 for center and 9300 for rear channels.

BTW,the 1075 is a very good amp(for about $600 used).It's just that the 1095 is superb!!!

I am picking up a 7ch Sherbourn and running it off a Krell HTS 7.1 and Oppo 83.I will let you know how it sounds.

thanks for the updated information

Check the Primare 5 channel amplifier. Fantastic!
