I want to get a stereo amp to drive my power hungry Polk RTi A9's(500W). I like what I am hearing right now(driven by Marantz SR7009 - 125W/channel). Another reason apart from driving the beast is that I want to free up 2 channels from my AVR for driving another pair of in-ceiling atmos speakers(already at 7.1.2 right now). After spending a lot on my HT setup, I am looking for a amp which can be cost effective(~40K). I am getting a quote for Yamaha P3500 for around 45K. Do you guys think this is what I should do, or look for other options?
Please do share your 2 cents!

S.
