Question Multi-Channel Amp recommendations

Hey all, I’m looking for multi-channel amp recommendations. Preferably a 6 channel amp for my home theater. Seems most companies make 5 channel amps. I’m a bit pressed for room, but am open to anything but Krell.

My Krell multi-channel amp keeps having modules fail, and lets just say Krell has virtually no service/repair to speak of.

Thanks!

I also have had the dreaded Krell multi-channel amp failures. Have you thought about going with Bryston? They make phenomenal amps and have a great warranty. I know they make a 5 channel amp but you could go with two 3 channel amps and stack them.

NAD M28 is a fantastic option (8 channels). Raving reviews.
Hegel C-53, C-54 or C-55. My C-53 is fantastic.
Primare has a new 8-channel amp, that was very well received by the press.

Default Multi-Channel Amp recommendations

What about one of the three 7 channel Amps that McIntosh sell?

Or two of their MC303 three channel amps?
