WTB: 4-6 channels of amplification

I need 6 channels of amplification for my new speakers. I have a Crown XLS402 amp that could power my woofers, which means I'd only need 4, but if you have a multi-channel amp with 6+ channels (Outlaw 7100) then I could use that. If you have two 2-channel amps, that will work. If you have a 5-channel amp, that will work as well 
Being the poor SoB that I am, I'd like to keep this on a budget. I only need 30-40wpc, but more is fine
. I've seen a few mid 1990s Rotel 6-channel amps (30-40wpc) going for $220-$280 so if you guys don't have any I'll probably snag one of those.
Thanks for looking. Your life will be spared.

Get on ebay and start snagging some Adcom 535's or 545's. You get more wattage and can't beat the price. 3x 545's might be a little out of your budget, but not terribly so.Gallo Ref 3.1 : Bryston 4b SST : Musical fidelity CD Pre : VPI HW-19
Gallo Ref AV, Frankengallo Ref 3, LC60i : Bryston 9b SST : Meridian 565

If you're thinking of the rotel rb956x, be warned that they have a turn on thump that you'll need to account for if you're planning to use them for an active setup.
Good luck, my brother has mine and won't give it back.

Those Adcom amps, they're 4-channel amps, correct?
As far as the thump, I will be running a 30 uF cap in series with the tweeter's positive wire. I have to so it doesn't show a near 0 ohm load to the amplifier, and to protect it. They're $118/each, so I don't feel like replacing them any time soon :eek: -
The 2535 is a 4channel amp. (60x4)
The 5300's are 2ch. amps (80x2)
The 5300's are the newer designs with the mosfet circuitry.
