If , as you insinuate , this is just for H/T I would not get caught up in the quality of the amp . Just go with decent amplification at the lowest price possible . I have the Rotel 1095 5 channel amp at 200 watts per channel . I find it more than sufficient for H/T use . It replaced an Integra receiver . While the Integra was ok the Rotel was better and had a lot more power . I found the rear channel speakers , which are often the furthest away , took considerably more power from the Integra to come up to equal the fronts . Remember , receiver wattage is not equal to straight amp wattage . It is not even close !
If , however , you plan to use this equipment for 2 channel listening also , then kindly ignore this reply and take the good advise above .
Good luck
