Good looking and sounding amp?

For a five channel amp go to Audioadvisor.com and check out the amp and preamp by Musical fidelity. They are offered at a speacial price of $4K for the pair. Most people really like the looks. I don't personaly, but I do appreciate the design. They are available on a thirty day trial and if they are like the rest of the new line they should sound very good. If I ever did an HT system myself I would consider using the MF gear with the Gallo Micros, but with a better subwoofer (than the Gallo). I assume that they have crossovers in the preamp for this, but am not certain.

PS: The stereo amp would depend on the rest of your gear, your listening room (size) and your musical taste.

McIntosh or Electrocompaniet or Anthem in Silver.
