If you listen to 80% music I would suggest a seperate stereo amp and ht amp. I think many multi channel amps don't sound as good as a good stereo amp. I also listen to 80% music. I listened to the Classe CAV-150 and thought it a decent amp, but I think the CA series is better made and sounds better. I bought a used CA-200 (200 wpc) and CAV-75 for under $2200. The CAV-75 bridges to (3 X 150 wpc) for the surrounds. New these two retail for $5K, you can get a good deal on the used market. If the wife acceptence factor allows 2 amps, I'd recommend seperate stereo and home theater amps.
