Upgrade advise: ATI, Bryston, Aragon,

try the Proceed 5 channel amp. they are great. If you buy a two channel make sure it of great quality. ecuase your music will sound better. And you want a amp that will cover all grounds

If your wondering who will be around, then buy yourself a bryston. I had the 3bst and it was solid like a tank(20yrs warranty), tho I did sell it to buy a bat vk200. I would go 2 channel amp for front and maybe a 3 channel for rear and center, unless your going to run rear and sides buy a 5 channel. 2 channel for front is the way to go, unless ya got the $$$$ for some mono's. Good luck pete

good advice above,over at ATI morris is more concerned with safety than performance!he's really big into protection circuitry!as above i agree ,buy a 2 ch amp.and add on with a 3 ch amp!super flexible!besides morris has enough ferraris!

Personally,I woud consider the Aragon or Bryston.Both are top notch,and a step above the ATIs,certainly in build quality.

Leehuff: I was in your position awhile ago reading, research, & testing. For the money , which is in your $$$ bracket the Sherbourn 5/1500 which is 5x200 each is 5 separate mono amps in 1 chasis retail is $2000. This amp just totally blew all of them away in Pure Sound & Power. I checked out such amps as ati,bryston,b&k,adcom,parasound,& rotel, & others. When you have delays & hear of problems stay away it should tell you something. I hope this helped you a little bit. Buy the way, yes I did buy the 5/1500 amp for myself. I upgraded all my electronics this year. My speakers are for the next year. Happy hearing & good luck with your choice, it will be your brawn of your system, your brains odviously your processor. Have fun.
