which amp is the best for 2 channel and HT?

I am in the market to looking for the best amp for under $3000US. I am listen 70% for music and 30% for HT, and I am using EAD Theater Master Signature for Preamp Procesor. This is 3 amps that I really want it:
1. Mark Levinson 333
2. Pass Lab X 250
3. Theta Dreadnaught II
but if you known some of different amp that better then this please let me known. Thanks a lot and I am looking for your input...

The EAD Powermaster 2000 would be a great choice for your EAD Signature. I have one hooked up to an EAD Ovation Plus and have never looked back. Incredible sound for both music and home theater.
Since purchasing this combo, I have also invested in two channel solid state and tube gear. After a few months of not playing the EAD combo, I hooked them up and the magic was still there.
Stereophile Guide to Home Theater gave it it's highest rating, not just for movies but for music playback.
Enjoy!

I own a Classe Cav-180 and it's great with music and home theater. I think it is very close to the Theta Dreadnaught but it costs less.

How about buying a killer amp(s) and preamp for the front 2ch, a matching preamp with a HT pass through, and use a flagship Reciever to run the audio and decoding duty for movies. That is how I plan to proceed, but I do Music at least 90% and am not a videophile by any means, nor am I a wealthy man, so this route makes most sense to me, though your situation may vary.

Nevermind! Just saw in your old threads that you have 25K to put into your system, so ignore my post!
