I don't know if any of these will meet your price requirements, but they should all have similar performance into five channels, and should all cost $2000 or less. I'd probably consider the Emotiva most seriously, unless you need bona fide low impedance/high power handling (i.e. you have stats), and then the Rotel or one of the Parasound Halo products may be worth another look. This is in addition to the NAD.
