best 5 channel amp for home theater

Stereophile Guide to Hometheater rates the Aragon 8008X3 as a class AAA amp. They now make a five channel version for 4000. The Bryston 9B st is rated class A in Stereophile. About half the power of the Aragon but I am sure they are very close in sound quality.

None of the Amps above can touch Pass X 5. Must be heard.

I own the cinepro 3k6se which is quite an impressive amp -- the best sound and $$ -- great service and the president is available when you call steven

It's not a "Class A" amp -- I honestly can't think of any 5-channel class A's -- but the Bryston 9B-ST has gotten outstanding comments in a number of mags.

I have an EAD Powermaster 2000 that sounds great. It is 400 watts/ch x 5 channels. It is specified to operate in true "class A" for 10wpc, and then switch over to class A/B. The silver faceplate looks great to boot.
