I am a bit confused, if you are looking for 5.1 sound, why are you looking for two channel amps, shouldnt you be looking for an AVR?
@sud
well, I did start with 5.1 in mind, but then settled for 2.0 because...
1) it was a better value for money proposition(i was getting a better music experience than movie experience in my budget)
2) i felt i can not get the desired surround sound effect in my living room, no matter what money i spend
3) i watch hardly 2 to 3 movies in a week, while music is something that i can enjoy everyday.
4) i auditioned same movie in 5.1 and 2.0 and thought, though it wasn't the same, i could live with that for twice a week of movie. plus i still have my Sony DZ120 if i wish to see a movie in 5.1
5) i just loved the sq of paradigms paired with onkyo
now, since i am not planning on 5.1 in near future, i thought, again going for multi ch avr would not give me the same kind of pleasure as a 2 ch amp, in fact onkyo 8555 also has a sub-preout (i've seen the back panel pic on their website)
hope it clears the doubt in your mind
