I came across what I think is a good deal on an American made amp, conservatively rated 200 watt x 7 channel amp with all channels driven over 20-20kHz (full bandwidth).
I'm not sure what wholesale cost is on it, but it was just under 50% of the $4000 MSRP with a 7 year warranty direct from the factory. ATI makes a lot of other amps too, so they might be worth looking into if you need one. The AT2007 is basically the same amp as the Lexicon RX-7 ($6000) and Outlaw 7700 ($2149) as ATI makes amps for various manufacturers in the same factory. (Isn't Lexicon shameless in their pricing?!?) There maybe other disguised AT2007's out there too. ATI also owns B&K and Theta Digital.
I've been using Onkyo's TX-NR905 a/v receiver (old flagship model) to power my speakers as I got a 60% deal on it from Fry's. I wonder if I'll hear a difference or not when the AT2007 arrives. The TX-NR905 is beefy, but it's power rating is not over the full bandwidth and definitely not with all channels driven.
EIA 1kHz Output Power at 8 Ohms* 250 watts
EIA 1kHz Output Power at 4 Ohms* 375 watts
