The amp5 looks awesome. At 120 lbs., I don't blame you for not wanting to ship. I don't even know how I'd pick it up.
I run 3 Marantz MA500 mono-blocks for center, rear and surround. They work fine, but I just put in a new stand that gives me space for a one-box solution. I'm just investigating possibilities.
I run an AVP2 for surround duties. I've never heard an AVP, but I've read that the AVP2 improved on it.
Thanks to all for the replies.
