I am looking to get a bomber 3 channel amp to power my center channel and surrounds. I am looking for a new amp, not a used one. Any companies still making these kind of amps?

    There are options for under $2k. Emotiva, Wyred4sound, heck even two Behringer A500's for $400 (shipped!).

    Have the A500 for my stereo speakers. They do the job and then some. Better than my AVR for sure. I will be adding another A500 when I move to drive the center channel with. My AVR will still drive the surrounds.

    Also check out:

    Check out the Emotiva XPA 3 at $539

    I see Marantz 200 wpc monoblocks all the time. That would more than
    get the job done.
