To me that's an awful lot of cash for a 100w x 5ch amp. As good as it is, there's a lot of competition in that area from other brands offering 7ch and more power. (I know that doesn't necessary make it better) Technically you would need both to take advantage of a 7.1 setup and have shelled out �9000!! Add the G65 into the mix and it's �13,500 before speakers.

I know M is not looking at entry level kit but it a giant leap of faith to anyone entering into M.

Just my 2p

Kind regards
David
