Ok, call me nuts, but here it goes....buy 5 Crown XLS 2000's bridge them into mono - you will have 5 channels at 1300 watts into 8 ohms!!! The power is clean and the noise floor is low. If you use them in stereo, you will have 10 channels at 375 watts into 8 ohms. I know audiophiles that have given up high-end amps for these, I'm on other boards and they are powering 800D's, ,Revels, Pendragons, and a host of otheres with these! Also there are a number of online dealers that will allow you to buy them on time (split into 3 or 4 payments) while you have the gear!!!! I'm thinking of doing this myself (but my amps are good...if they go...it's all pro for me). A professional high-end reviewer couldn't get the fans to turn on while powering the 800D's. Just a thought

Oh they don't look that bad either.
