5 Channel Power Amp Recommendtions
have you considered NOT using a 5 channel amp? I run mono blocks on my front channels, and a stereo amp on my rears.It's the best way to optimize your 2 channel music performance. 
Bi-amp question

Bi-amp question

I have my set I bought in the 70's. I mod'd the crossovers a couple years ago - pretty hard to beat! 
HK 3490 receiver with no sound?
I would say it was either the jumpers were misplaced, or he had the speaker selector switches turned off. There's no reason any of the other stuff (ie power strip, sub, etc) would make a difference. 
McCormack DNA-1 runs hot
I've had amps run even hotter than 100F (eg ~120F or more for an Ayre V3). Ayre technical support told me "heat is good" 
Need an affordable home theater system ?
