Best used 5 channels amp. for both music and movies

You forgot the Musical Fidelity HT600, which surely must fall somewhere in the middle of that list. Honestly, when I compared 2 channel sound, the M. Fidelity amp was more satisfying than the CAV 150, which I like a lot.

I would also add the EAD Powermaster 2000 to your list. Incredible for 2 channel music. Built like a tank. Beautiful to look at, too.

I agree with Telemoli and Samski that EAD PowerMaster 2000
Is the best for your requirements.

A few of you agreed that the EAD-2000 is better than the Krell KAV-500. Is it better because the EAD-2000 has more power or the quality of the sound (we are talking about both music and movies here)? if it is the power, how do you compare the EAD-2000 to the Krell KAV-1500?
Retail price for the Krell KAV-500 is $5,000; the EAD-2000 is $6,000; and the Krell KAV-1500 is $8,500. Is it true that you will get what you pay for?

There are a great number of variables in choosing a
suitable multi-channel amp for both HT and music. These
include among other factors - room and screen size, the
types of films you tend to enjoy, your source components
and cables, what sort of music you tend to enjoy, speaker
placement, and the types of speakers you will be driving.
As Brian mentiond above, you might want to look into
a multi-channel amp from McIntosh. While not frequently
reviewed, they tend to be well balanced for two channel
music use. And long after issues of price have been forgotten; the McIntosh amps will be giving you solid,
dependable service.
