Best value in 5 chan. power amp under $3,000

What is the best value in a new or used 5 channel power amp under $3,000? It will be hooked up to an Integra DHC 9.9 and play though Paradim Studio 40s with a CC-690 or Paradigm Sig S4s witha C-5 center. 80%HT/20% music

Thanks,

Lew

Find a used Proceed AMP 5. Unbeatable value.

I had a Sherbourn 5/1500. I bought it new from my local dealer, kept it for several years, and sold it when I went to individual monoblocs.
This amp has 5 monoblocks in 1 chassis. Think of a Bryston 9B SST with more power & a less fancy casework.
This amp was very dynamic, and trouble free.

I would go class D amps for the neutrality, power handling and power saving. I've used mch amps from EAD, Theta and Proceed before. They are all good, and each has merits. But ultimately for HT I would get class D, save money and power, and invest on speakers or better display. Rotel class D amps are very good and can be had for below $2000.
