The Rotel 1095 goes for $2000, but I got 15% off at my dealer so I paid $1700. I run a 7.1 system and use a 2 channel Rotel RB-1050 for my two center back speakers. I think the RB-1050 cost me $330. The 2 channel amp is 70w per channel and that's plenty for what's in the two center back speakers(there's really not all that much going on in the center backs that requies a lot of power).
