Theta Intrepid

I am looking to build a new 5.1 system, with probably a simple preamp (the preamp from an H/K 430 reciever) through a 5-ch and 2-ch amps. I will be running Meadowlark Ospreys L/R, Swift Rears, Swan Center, and Owl Surrounds. Probably will start with Monitor Audio FB210 (x2) for bass, and will be using the H/K's bass management.
I am not sure of what I will pay for the Intrepid, and I'd like a Dreadnaught Ii but don't know how long it will take me to get.
What amps would be suggested to work with the Intrepid - I'm thinking running the surrounds, center and rears off of the Intrepid and getting monoblocks for the front L/R so that i can use those simply for music.

Suggtestions? Comments? anyone have an Intrepid? I've read nothing but rave reviews of Theta stuff, any input there?

Thanks
