As a Doc my self (not a surgeon) I am kinda surprised that an orthopedic surgeon wouldn't have more money than that to spend on an HT amp. Given his/her predictable income then whatever costs a lot in HT (I don't follow HT so don't know) is what you should recommend. The Krell multi channel amp and pre/pro or does McIntosh make one, that's the kind of income were talking about. It would be a very quiet morning indeed that didn't yied multiples of $1750.
