OK, I wanted to reference a post on the ep2500 specs so I started searching. I'm not sure where I got the idea about distortion, but it is incorrect. Here are the distortion measurements for a 2Ohm load. Here are the 8Ohm measurements. I was earing pleasant news so far related to the ep2500 except for that ONE guy who have M80 and he switched from the ep2500 to the emo xpa-3 and saw a difference is it to much to ask, I just want the best sound for the $$..

Thus the posted correction. From everything I know, these levels of distortion will be inaudible.

I did listen to the M22s hooked up to the A1400 and other than the bass not really improving, although it was more prominent on songs that are truly bass heavy, the overall soundstage was much wider and more detailed from what I can remember of the way they sound vs. the 3808. I was at the back of the room and amazed at just how good they sounded at ~20' away.

Why upgrade? why not! :-) I think I will try to get one ep2500 at least for my front. It can be resold easily...

So Fred, from those stats, you think this amp will actually put out a "clean enough for us" 450 watts at 8 ohms and over 800 at 2 ohms? I'm shocked by that, given the price. Is there a catch?

Go to audioholics.com and do a search for ep2500. There are two threads, one for the A500 and one for the ep2500 that you should read through.
I personally have not listened to an EP2500, but others have and seem quite satisfied.
If you are worried, look for an ep2500 second hand and if it dosn't work out for you, it will be easy to sell to the DIY sub crowd.

You can look for the Crown XTI as well, good reports from those have it as an HT/2 channel amp as well. These 'pro' amps seem to be working for many. I think once I get some spare cash again I am going to try one myself.
