I'm interested in suggestions, pros/cons, etc. for a 5-channel power amplifier. I'm hoping to build a new 5.1 home theater set up and will be using a power amp to receive the analog outs from the Oppo 105 D (soon to be purchased). The Oppo has individual outs for 7.1, but I will be doing a mix down to 5.1. The sub will receive its own dedicated analog line out from the Oppo, which will leave the fronts, center, and two rear speakers to feed a power amp.
I'm planning to do all bookshelf type speakers (leaning towards Paradigm at the moment). The speaker salesman said at least 80 watts per channel should do. So far, I've been recommended Parasound and Anthem and was wondering what all you've been happy with. Recommendations, thoughts, and insights are much appreciated!
