Brystons Amps are also excellent.  In fact they are now taking over Carver
as the choice amp for professional applications.  The reason:  they are quiet,
clean, powerful, and high current.  Yes!  You can turn off a Bryston and 
listen to it for atleast 30 seconds too!!  Lifting up a Bryston is not 
recommended unless you want to pump muscles.  All Brystons amps support 2 pairs
of speakers.  Bryston offers the following:

	2Bryston	50w/ch [200w bridged mono] (8 ohms)	~$1000 ($CAN)
	3Bryston	100w/ch [400w bridged mono] (8 ohms)	~$1700 ($CAN)
	4Bryston	250w/ch [800w bridged mono] (8 ohms)	~$2200 ($CAN)
	6Bryston	800w [mono block amplifier] (8 ohms)	~$2200 ($CAN)

Take your pick!  Both ADCOM and Brystons are excellent reasonably priced 
amplifiers.  

Ian.
