multi-amp's other than Parasound w/ gain controls?

There's probably one by B&K - I bought my brother a 3-channel model (ST1430 mk2) that was 3 channel and had gain controls on the rear. It's likely there's a 5-6 channel amp in the same amplifier series that would have these controls. Check out their website, they probably have the user manuals posted.

mcintosh makes several that i have owned.

mc7106 & mc7104, both of these amps run 2 channel very well also.

If you're talking about multi-zone amps try:
