Hi,
I had a Parasound A51 which I liked for a long time but decided to upgrade recently. I ended up getting 3 McCormack DNA.05 stereo amps and used the extra channel to bi amp my center channel. Couldn't be happier. I happen to like the Mc amps but if they aren't your cup of tea I think the concept of using stereo or mono rather than multi channel is going to give you better sound at any price point.
