b&k reference 200.7 price?


What would be a good price for this series 1 amp? i have a possible chance to pick one up. i am running b&w 804 in my home theater.... would this be a good match up? i really do jot have the money right now for any Macintosh or other high end amps... about $1,000 is where he is at. Are there something better in that price range? i run 5.1 not 7.
thanks

From my understanding, the Anthem P5 Statement is in another class than the 200.7 and A200FIVE, but also in a completely different price bracket at $5000.00++. I am sure the P5 will handle any load any speaker can throw at it. The B&K, Acurus, and Anthem are all very good amps in their price points. IMO, if the 804's have a tendency to sound bright, maybe the B&K with it's warmish tone and somewhat rolled off highs is the better match. Just my opinion.

Willand - my experience is that the highs on the B&K are bright, not warmish and rolled off. I know others have said that, but that is not my experience.
Dtc,

With my Klipsch Reference towers and Heritage speakers, I think my B&K's tamed the highs a bit, a little too much with the Reference towers and just perfectly with the Heritage.

Going to go and look at an anthem statement p5 tomorrow.. do i just listen to it and if it works then that is good or should i check something?
thank you
Bill
Should i worry about the p5 putting out 325 watts a side at 8 ohms. when the max on my speaker is 200? am i going to blow up my speakers?
thanks
