Why not just go for the Onkyo TX-SR605? Its £400 (well you can pick it up for  £380) and its the best surround amp out there right now.

Theres not much of a difference between it and the models above it.


Not to mention its won every award under the sun, has plenty of output power per channel and does all the HD audio codecs.
