2 Channel Amp for Surrounds: Need Recommendations

Hi,

I need a 2-channel amp to power my back surrounds which are rated at 150 watts.

I plan to bi-amp my VT-2 mains when I add an AV7005 Preamp later this year. My Wired 4 Sound Mini MC-7 puts out 7 x 220 wpc.

I'd like to find a 2-channel amp for $500 or less that delivers about 150 to 200 wpc.

Something that would generate minimal heat is a real plus.

I would love to hear suggestions/ opinions.

Thanks!

My System as of July 2011

Wow, all the advice here is fantastic!!!

So far I have been looking at most of the brands mentioned, but most of my research was done looking for 7-channel amps (I just recently made the 7-channel W4S MC-7 purchase).

When it comes to 2-channel amps I am starting with virtually no knowledge base on the models available, what's good, better, best for my price range.

That's why its especially helpful to see recommendations for specific 2-channel models. This will help me narrow the field on the best choices.

Keep 'em coming gentlemen, I enjoy reading online reviews and forum discussions and I'm not in a big hurry!
