Amp advice

I'm thinking about a first amp purchase for mostly HT. I'm completely new to amps and don't know a thing. My AVR has pre-outs. I'm looking at a B&K Reference 3220 amp. It's 220w x3 at 8 ohms and would be driving a CSi A6 and yet to be purchased towers from the RTi A line. Is $460 a good price for the amp? If I go up to the A9 will it be enough?

    Nice amp, good price, scoop it up. It will power most anything you throw at it and will tell A9's to wake the 'eff up.

    Thanks for the input, but looking at it further I just can't justify buying an amp right now. If anyone else is interested in this it is on eBay. It doesn't look like it comes with any cords or cables, doesn't even look like you get a power cord. It has about 3 hours left.
