I have done a lot of research on this amp in the past and thought I would ask the experts here what they thought.
I think I am less than a week away from pulling the trigger on this but would like to know if there are any recomendations for other multi channel amps to consider.
I will be using my Onkyo as a pre/pro and all else stays the same as my sig except I will probably remove the M282 from center duty.
I have not had a chance to demo this unit but I plan to do so as soon as I find a place to go.
I am not against seperate amps but I do not have much room in my rack.

My budget is +/- $2000.00 leaning on the - side.

Thanks

It's the same as the Outlaw amp. Save some coin...get the Outlaw.

Frank is right. For HT, I'd save the coin and go with the Outlaw. it's a little less power.

If you have to have 200 WPC, spend another $500 and get this (http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?intamult&1138807278)

That sunfire looks pretty nice.
I will look into it.

I like the sherbourn because it is designed with seven monoblocks.
I want the 200 wats so I have room to grow.

a massive 7 channels, plenty of juice. A tad over your budget, but I know it's worthed.

You can find a used B&K 200.7 in that range, too.

might be due to my lack of Outlaw experience but why do you say it's the same? I'm very impressed with Sherbourn.

Outlaw's top 7 channel is only 125 watt right now. The 770 has been buried and the 790 hasn't been released yet, but will be a very nice 300X7 when it arrives.
ATI is Outlaw's amp supplier and they make some nice 7 channel units, but they are more $$$ too.

Dont' forget the monoblock design of Emotiva from AV123.com since you are looking. They are so separated that you can change our channels yourself, which can't be said of all designs.

I personally don't like all my ampeggs in one basket, since shipping back a 100+ pound amp when 1 channel goes out sucks all the fun out of ownership. but to each his own.
