For those suggesting the AVA gear, exactly what are you suggesting, since the OP is looking for 7 channels of amplification in a single package?
Are you suggesting the OP is better served by one of the 3 channel amps and 2 each of the stereo amps, than by the single box solution he is actually looking for? Or did you just paste in the mantra of "Buy AVA" that we hear so much of
I guess Frank must have a 7 channel amp I'm not aware of.
And 7 channels of Audio Research gear for someone shopping for a $2K amp? Lets add Krell and Lamm to the list too
Sorry, I'm not usually so bitchy this early in the morning
To the OP - check out the Rotel RMB-1077 - 7 channels in one slim, cool running box might be just waht you are looking for.
