Amp recommendations

[ougrad02]

I am looking for a 5-channel amp with at least 125wpc. I was pretty set on getting an emotiva upa-7 but realized with its weight and dimensions that it won't work for my component rack. So I was hoping some people could throw out some recommendations on amps that are in the range of 40lbs and less than 17in. deep. I am looking at mostly used equipment. My budget is $1000. So far I have found:

rotel 1075
sunfire grand cinema 200
adcom 7605
outlaw monoblocks
anthem pva 5 (less than 125wpc though)

So any thoughts on these or ideas on other amps?

Thanks.

I have had an Outlaw monoblock for my center channel and it did a fine job. I now have a Sunfire 5 channel amp and I love it.

It is the only 5 channel amp that I'm able to lift. It only weighs 3lbs more than when I had a 205wpc 2 channel Parasound 1500A which weighs 40lbs.

Try to get a much wattage as you can. That way you will know you have plenty of power no matter how loud you get & your speakers will be operating to thier full potential.

I thought something like cfrizz's Sunfire would be perfect for you. It has the best Watts to weight ratio I have ever seen and is very good looking. I am not sure if you could get a used one for $1k though. By the way I want one too..
