Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Which amp would you go with?

I finally broke down and ordered. After much thought and your guys help I decided on M60's, 2 QS8's and 1 QS4 to complement the VP150 that I picked up to try out a couple months ago. I am currently using a Sony 2ES receiver and I am going to turn it into a pre pro and buy a separate amp. I had a deal locked up on a Rotel RB1070 and RMB1075 but the seller backed out when I went to send him the money, so I am in search again. I am wondering what amps you recommend to compliment axioms sound. This system is going to be used primarily for HT. Would you recommend a 3 channel amp for the front and a 2 channel for the back, or would a 5 channel work just as well (I am going to run the rear surround off the receiver)? The main contenders are the Marantz MM9000 and the Rotel RMB1075. My price point is 1k or less. I am willing to go new or used. OK, lets hear it.
