Sorry to hijack this thread but what is main features to look for in an amplifier?
I assume that you are going 5.1 7.1 ? If you are going good old stereo I would grab one of these http://www.valveamps.com.au/index.htm

Buying amps etc is a very personal thing. What you like sound wise might not suit someone else. As far as the usual consumer brands go, you can rely on Yamaha, Dennon as a starting point. Others might have some suggestions. What ever you get take a good long look at the spec sheet. Dont be sold by the output claims. Find a couple that you think might be OK, then get their model numbers and then hit google for more real world info.
