and maybe a cinepro 3k6 and a 1k2

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.

Damn some serious staff there baby :)

I vote for the Sim.Though at that price point,options are endless.
Maybe split the cash between an amp and upgrade source.

Buy them all.

amps....amps.....amps

never heard of anyone wishing they had saved more dough just before they went for big dirt nap.

have fun Gonzo.

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)

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.

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.
