  Thanks for your input forum,
  I went with the bryston 9bTHX 5 x 125 and am still looking at pre/pro's.
  Thanks again

  Your speakers may decide which amp is best for you. I bought a
  Ref 30, also use a SACD player (Sony 9000es) and am pretty much
  decided on a Classe CAV-75 amplifier as my Audio Physic Tempos
  are 90db efficient and run at 4 ohms.

  I did hear the 7250 and was pretty impressed with its sound in a
  dealer showroom with some B&W speakers--I just dont need that much
  power and was willing to trade off the Classe's sound for lower
  power.

  Always,
  BGunn

  The B&K piece is good but EAD is a step-up.

  Both have analog inputs controlled in the analog domain (for SACD or DVD-A). Both have preamp outputs for all channels. Both have many different decoding capabilities (DTS 5.1, DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix, DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete, Dolby Digital 5.1. Dolby Digital 6.1 Matrix, Dolby Pro-Logic, etc.). Use them to power your speakers or use preamp outputs to power amps.

  Cannot speak for the EAD piece but you simply cannot go wrong with Ref 30 and its mate 7250 amp. The Ref30 has all the usual suspects or I mean 'direct' of 2 or 5.1 plus some! Just my $0.02 :-)
