The 5B can bridge 2 of its channels (via a switch) which may suit your needs for now but give you flexibility to add more channels (7.1?) later. It also came with a Lexicon badge (312 THX) which are identical internally but go for less.

6B will provide more then 300 watts into 8 ohms and over 500 into 4.
The Bryston 6B is something I definitely need to look into. Thanks for the words, fellas.
