    I had one several years ago. No complaint, in my case, to drive LSi15/C/9/Fx. very capable little amp. I upgraded to a Gemstone Blue Diamond and stop having the need to upgrade..HAR HAR.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Never heard that B&K amp but I've used a Rotel 1075 & 1095 with my RTI's with great results.

    I have a B&K AV5000. Not the same amp, but it is a 5 channel rated at 125 w/ch. I have no complaints at all with it. It is a very solid performer for my purposes and if I was in the market for another amp, B&K would top my list for price to performance ratio.

    Just my .02

    I have the B&K Ref 125.2 driving my front LSi9's in my HT. Great sounding amp and it's got plenty of reserve capacity to produce great dynamics and drive 4 ohm speakers. Unless you're trying to get to eardrum shattering SPL it would be all you need for LSi's.

    I listended to Lsi15 with Both B&K 200.7 and Sunfire and i kept B&K . Sunfire is too laid back for me with Lsi series.

    I have the B & K reference 7250 (200x5) and the Ref 2220 (225x2). I absolutely love them. They are great sounding amps and can drive any speaker IMHO. I have Martin Logans that are 4 ohm and may dip a little more and they drive them with ease. I will say the 2 channel has more oomph than the 5 channel so you may want to look for a 5 and a 2 channel. Thats just my opinion though.
