So, again, a question concerning amps.

I may be young. I may not have $25000 invested in my system. But why is it that no one on this forum ever answers my questions. Ever. I feel totally ignored. It really is a downer, considering how much people seem to post about everything else and everyone else.
I have Infinity Kappa 600s and 400s, front and rear, respectively. THese are 6-ohm, biwireable speakers. My center is a slightly older and less fancy Entra by Infinity. Soon will be upgrading to a Martin Logan Cinema.
Am looking at amplifiers. WIll be using a Harman/Kardon AVR 430 as a processor.
Have quality power delivery and cabling. Am very serious about this whole thing.
Since I have only one room right now, I am concerned with Home Theater as well as peerless musical performance.
I have been looking at amplifiers from Sunfire, Aragon, B&K, Parasound, older Classe, Older Krells, etc.
What do you people think? Comments on amp performance? Negatives? Positives? Etc?
I do not have a dealer for any of these folks around.

HELP!

Based on my experience, if you are seeking as you say 'peerless musical performance', then the amplifier is the place to start.

I would suggest keeping your eye out for a used McCormack DNA 0.5 Revision A amplifier. It's only 2-channel but you can usually find a used one here for about $1200 $1600 and it should easily outperform any of the amps you listed above.

This purchase alone can catapult your system perhaps more than any other purchase you make in the next few years.
