what to buy? so confused.

My current setup includes, B&W802d's B&wHTM2 center, B&w scsm surround, B&w855 sub. Everything is powered through Rotel RB 1090, 1095, rsp 1068. The Rotel amps just are not fitting in. I am considering krell 600x2,-- 403 400x3 that should be enough power for 5.1 /or krell 350mcx mono, another option is classe 5500 200x5 and classe 2200 200x2. only other option is a proceed hpa2 250x2 and proceed 5 channel. some options will allow for 5 channel while some only allow for 7. im not concerned about 7 channel at this moment, I can add that.
I woulr rather not spend over $10,000. but i cold be off a few hundred. what you some of you choose if this was your system?

I have a Butler TDB-5150 Tube/MOSFET hybrid amp - it sounds *wonderful*. All the balls of a great MOSFET amp coupled with legendary tube sweetness. This is powering an all-Gallo Reference surround sound system - I'm in Heaven!

If you need/want more power, Butler makes a killer 250 Watts/Ch. amp called the TDB-2250, a real beast!

There are so many options that you haven't considered. You need to slow down and get a chance to hear a wider variety of gear. Travel if necessary, and hear more stuff. Cheers,

I'm running pretty much the same speakers as you. Except in the rear, I'm using a pair of 804s. On the center, surrounds and rear, I use a Krell TAS and on the front channels, I use CARY 211AE mono amps. Works great. This combination is wonderful for theather and surround and is super for two channel. If you can't swing the Cary 211AE mono amps, the CARY CAD 120S works very good.
