At a conservative 85X5 into 8 ohms and 125X5 into 4 ohms, a Parasound HCA 855a will give you more real world watts and amperage than any of those receivers, and they can be found new for $500 and used for under $400. Pair it with an Outlaw 950 for $800 and have a fantastic combo for under $1300. Or, use a smaller receiver with the Parasound and get as good or better results than the mid-priced stand alone receivers.
