after this "drama" I would be cautious to buy anything NuForce:

Why do you feel that you're underpowering them?

i am currently using Yamaha RXV667 5.1 all in one. and on dynamic sound in action movies i feel there is less sound on 5.1 but when it listen same track in Stereo I get mucg better sound from same b&w CM9 fronts.
So i have two options

1. buy two mono amps for now. and upgrade rest 3ch as I go
2. get the Nuforce Class D MCA 20 8 channel

According to one of our senior experts, your speakers present very tough load on any avr, so I guess getting outboard amp is not a bad option. As for Nuforce I still think at 2k is not exactly deal of the century.
Why not something like this:

It's OEM rebrand of one of best US amp builder - ATI. it's a proven tech which works and works well.
I love class D as the next guy, just don't think that Nuforce is the one I would get.

One more option to consider: since most of content are produced from 3 front speakers - they are in most needed help, so Emotiva's XPA3 could be another good choice. Surrounds still powered by AVR - they typically don't need much
