While I can not speak to the value/sound of the speakers, the amp if a pretty darned good choice for a 'last' amp.
The Earthquake amplifiers not only do HT well, but excel in 2-channel. They have been given great write ups about the performance and sound, but still folks do not give them a chance in the 'high' end.
They deserve all of the recognition and then some over other manufacturers multi-channel amps from the likes of Rotel, Lexicon, Proceed (now defunct), EAD, and Theta.
The real truth here is the Theta is the only mentioned above that compete with the EQ imo.
Not to mention, they have a VERY generous, almost Bryston like warranty of 10 years. Their gear is bullet-proof, reliable and an extraordinary value.
Oh, and the company is a family owned/run company. You can spend alot more and get alot less very easily.
