@all

Any suggestions for 3 channel amplifier with in 600$(inclusive of shipping)? Outlaw 5000 comes to around 700 and emotiva xpa-5 is around 900$ . Looking for suggestions other than these two brands with the price range to run my Left, Right and Center speakers capable of holding 200watts @ 8ohms

If you can get the XPA-3 for $600 shipping included then it is a no brainer. the Outlaw 5000 is rated 5X120, so if you need 200W it is out. The XPA-5 will add nothing with the extra weight and cost if you have a mid high end AVR that should be able power the surround speakers with reserve.

What speakers are you using? Have you considered pro amps? You could run 2 of these, and bridge the center. Thats $600 for the fronts or add a 3rd for $900 and run all bridged. 700 watts x 3, 4ohm stable and run quite.

I have B&W CM9 S2 for L&R and CMC S2 for my center and Infinity Tower speakers for my surround. I went ahead and ordered emotiva xpa-5 .
