You might want to take a look at this very long string. Lots of folks are running Crown Pro amps. You can pick them up pretty cheap (200-300) and they pump out serious power. This thread has tons of info on them.
I'm contemplating buying one.

In reply to:
The Rotel RMB-1075 is 200 watts per chanel @ 4 ohms.I run M80's off a RB1080 and think the match is quite good.If the 80's are the ones giving the Yamaha trouble why not just a good 2 channel amp for the mains.
Not correct. The RMB-1075 is 120 watts/channel. It's the big RMB-10 95 that's 200 watts.
Your point is still valid though. He could get a nice two channel amp to power just the M80's, and use the Yammy for all the remaining channels. My thinking was that for a fairly minimal increase in outlay he could have the RMB-1075 and have the nice Rotel powering all but that one rear channel.

This says DIN Power Output
(1 kHz, 1%) 5x200 watts /ch / 4 ohms. This is from the Rotel website.

My bad...I was not taking the 4 ohms into consideration.
In my system it's "only" 120.
In either case I still say get the RMB-1075 and let the Yammy power that sixth channel.

He should be able to find a 1075 for $800 or less. A RB-1070 will cost upwards of $550/600. So yeah, I guess it's another $200+, but it's also a lot more amp.

mdrew,
Which line are your referring to? I see the XLS 402 retails for $519. That seems like a steal if it is pumping out that much power.

This is true if the price difference is only $200.I saw a RB1070 go for only $350 on ebay not to long ago.

I know what ya mean I paid full retail for my 1080.Good thing it was new though as the left channel blew after only 4 or 5 hours of use .The warranty was nice to have in this case.
