The Lexicon has a sale pending, but they make nice stuff for HT. If I were going to do HT I'd seriously consider them."Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

I would avoid the Lexicon. I heard a few of their 7 channel amps and was not impressed. Lex is known for their processors, not amps.
The Sim looks nice and may fit the bill. Just a question though, why not just add a Sunfire amp to your existing sunfire pre at a fraction of the cost?

The 3k6 is really nice. Stop by sometime for a listen if you are in the area.... (I am sure it will be making an appearance at the chicago polkfest this summer)
Michael
Edit - PolkWannabe has both a Sunfire and Cinepro 1k2 amp so he may be able to tell you if one will work better than another for your application. Might be worth a PM before you put your money down.Mains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)
Center............Polk LSiC (Crossover upgraded)
Surrounds.......Polk LSi7 (Gloss Black - wood sides removed and crossovers upgraded)
Subwoofers.....SVS 25-31 CS+ and PC+ (both 20hz tune)
Pre\Pro...........NAD T163 (Modded with LM4562 opamps)
Amplifier.........Cinepro 3k6 (6-channel, 500wpc@4ohms) -
well we are bulding a new house maybe sometime in the next year so i will have a clean slate for a theater so most of the gear i am going to sell with the house as a theater package around 10k but have not finilesed amount. the gear i will keep are all the speakers and the sub the remote and all the gameing systems so the pre and the projector will be going. my new theater i will have free rain and i am thinking of going with a 20ish ft by 26ish ft with 8-10 ft celings
so what i am looking to get in a amp is at least 200 wpc @8 ohm and 7 channels
for my new pre will do the new dd-hd and have hmdi 1.3 -
A B&K 7270 matches your stated spec need perfectly.
