best 5 channel amp for home theater


I would like everyones opinion on what they would consider the best amplifier for a 5.1 home system. Class A amplifiers only please.

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.
Sdcampbell when's the last time you checked Stereophile's recommended components list? The Bryston is class A on their list but maybe not yours? It is the first 5 channel amp to be so listed.
Two of the best are Aragon 8008 series, EAD PowerMaster 2000 and the Theta Dreadnaught...
Bulldogger: I think we may have confusion over terminology. I interpreted Mizendo's reference to "Class A" to mean an amp that runs in Class A electrical mode (i.e., no switching and circuits are "on" all the time). If you use the term "Class A" to mean the rating system used by Stereopiles, you are correct in your comment.
I interpreted Class "A" the same way sdcampbell did. But now I see there is another option!
