Help.... Need Amp advice


I am currently in the market for an amp to provide a little kick to my system. I have the klipsch rf 3II, rc3, and rs3's with a velodyne HGS-12. I'm most interested in powering the fronts and center speakers but I am also considering a 5 channel amp to power 'em all. So far I am torn between the Odyssey Stratos HT-3 (150x3), an older acurus A200x5 (too much power?) or 125x5, or a parasound HCA1205 (140x5). I should mention my pre/pro is currently a Denon AVR 3803 (85x7), and my time is for the most part split 50-50 between music and HT. Overall budget for the amplifier is $1-2K. Thanks, any advice/opinions are greatly appreciated!

You can never have too much power. An EAD Powermaster 1000(5x200) works extremely well with the Denon. You should be able to find one on Audiogon in the $1500 range. Make sure you get one with the upgraded power supply. Normally the V cut silver faceplate models have the upgraded power supply.
