Earthquake Cinenova 5 ch amp

I am considering an Earthquake 300 watt per ch amp for my 7.1 system. Was looking into Lexicon, Bel Canto or Bryston power but cannot find an easy, nor inexpensive, combination which would yield 300 watts across the 3 front speakers. I never even thought of Earthquake until a friend reccommended I look at them. I've read several very favorable reviews on this model which is really 5 mono amps in one huge and heavy chassis and they all agree it's not just the extra power but sound quality which makes them attractive. I have B&K now, which sound very nice, but need more power in my expanded theater room. Anyone have experience with Earthquake amps?
