Ah, anyways, you're budget is very constrained. Here's what you could probably realistically do:
Outlaw Audio 976 processor: $929
Monoprice Monolith 5x200 amp: $1299
It's above you're budget, but it's worth stretching it. It would be very hard to find something below this. You can get a cheaper processor, but then you're looking at the very old stuff that is 12-17 years old (Krell HTS, Proceed AVP2, etc.). These older devices are typically starting to fail around now.
Parasound amp would be okay. The Parsound sound is slightly warm with soft rolled off highs. That Parasound HCA-2205A amp on audiogon is an example. I suspect the Monoprice Monolith might be a little cleaner and higher resolution.
