It's okay. Your Anthem P5 is a wonderful amp so don't worry yourself. Many on this forum(me included) and other music lovers elsewhere, prefer to use a "better" stereo amp for the mains for the times when they want "maximum" sound quality for 2-channel listening from there HT system. I am sure your P5 will be equal to or even trump some other stereo amps in it's price range.

I as under the impression that after getting to a higher quality amp, the differences between the amps is more a matter how how they make the speaker sound. not so much a "better" amp just more preference on what the listener wants.

Your Anthem Statement P5 is an awesome quality multichannel amplifier that will definitely hold it's own with 2-channel sound quality.

Here is a quote from a review in http://www.hometheatersound.com/equipment/anthem_statement_p5.htm

"but the P5 -- with its high power output, incredible build quality, and first-rate sound -- is just as deserving. It should be considered one of the very best multichannel amplifiers currently available."

I missed the note where you said you were using it for the fronts too. That's why I found it odd that you were relegating it to a side channel amp. I didn't know if you were using mono blocks, etc.
