I have possibly around £200,although id like not to spend more than £150, to spend on a dolby digital/dts amp, i have been looking at the richer sounds webby, they have a
yamaha 396 for £120,
a sherwood 6106 for £150,
a kenwood 5050 for £160 and
a technics 850 for £170,
what do u think? anybody have any of these are they any good, i already have the speakers, but i need a good amp, also i was wondering if it is possible to feed the front output of the home cinema amp to my marantz stereo amp, as i have heard the stereo performance is not as good on home cinema amps, my marantz is the danglies so i would still like to use that.

Any help appreciated

A happy Sherwood 6106 owner here - excellent value for money when I bought it last June for £199 - DTS performance is superb on it. Well worth £150 of anyone's dosh
