Recommend a 5.1 Amp

Ok I Am thinking about upgrading the Hi-Fi separates I have attached to my computer to allow for some surround sound and subwoofer goodness. I already have the front speakers so will get some rears and a sub (not sure if i need a mid/front?) However I'm a bit stuck on what AMP would be best to power this lot. I presume 100 watt per channel and 5.1 would be required. I am also not sure what output would make best use of the Audigy 2 I have, will it support digital etc? I don't mind buying second hand as all the sound equipment I have is second hand.

Below are some pics to give an idea:


Front speakers


Back speakers


subwoofer

This is the reciever I use for a similar setup:
Panasonic SAHE-100


No problems as of yet, I've had it for two years. AFAIK they're discontinued, nevertheless some stores still cary them they're fairly cheap too.
More specs

looks pretty sweet, does anyone know to use digital inputs and stuff with these sort of things? Also, how does the sub attach? Is there a special connector?

Logitech Z-5300 @500W. Does the job for me with a older 400W Z-560 on a split for combined 900W. Normally just run the 400W unless I get tanked up and ready to crank real volume.

If the AMP has "digital in" simply match the connectors on your out source (optical to optical, coaxial to coaxial, etc), it's easy as that. I have Audigy 2 ZS, I simply connect my RCA SPDIF (Coaxial RCA) to my reciever.

As for the subs, most home theatre recievers of that nature simply have a signal splitter for the sub, such that you can connect the sub but it needs its own power supply. If you don't have a sub the lower frequencies can get routed over to your front speakers, if you wish.
