I need to know what would be the best amp 5.1 only, I have no need for a 7.1 setup. I would connect my polk mon 70's as fronts, my cs10 (center), I use sony ssf-6000 for surrounds for now, and have a polk psw-110 for my sub. Im always listening to extremely loud music mostly heavy metal, and rock and want watts per channel around 125 per, and possibly a pre amp output, or two. Not sure what to look for if any of you can help me that would be greatly appreciated. Oh lets try to keep it around the 300 to 500 range if at all possible thanks, Jason

    You want an amp or a receiver?

    Go with a Pioneer 1020k or Onkyo 608

    If you go used you can get more for your money....

    If you go new, the good stuff is all 7.1, even if you don't use all 7 channels.
    Main Surround -
    Epson 8350 Projector/ Elite Screens 120" / Pioneer Elite SC-35 / Sunfire Signature / Focal Chorus 716s / Focal Chorus CC / Polk MC80 / Polk PSW150 sub

    Bedroom - Sharp Aquos 70" 650 / Pioneer SC-1222k / Polk RT-55 / Polk CS-250

    Den - Rotel RSP-1068 / Threshold CAS-2 / Boston VR-M60 / BDP-05FD

    If you get the pioneer (which i have, its great) it has no pre outs, but runs way cooler then the onkyo. But the onkyo has pre outs if you decide to get crazy with an external amp
