I have been thinking and if I can't get the ADA1000, looking at the impedance vs frequency graph, there are two lines. I am thinking that the second higher line is the rear speakers as they don't have the larger 6.5" drivers and are two way vs three way crossovers.

If that is the case, then the rear speakers will be easily driven by a much smaller or less powerful amp than what is required to drive the fronts. I already have some smaller amps that really don't have the guts to drive the fronts, but might be perfect to drive the rear set. So a $1400 budget for a 2 channel amp is far more easy that trying to spend that amount for 4 channels worth of equal power (if that power is really not needed).
