any feedback on pros vs cons of this set up would be appreciated.

I would give the elates more power. Morels love all the power they can get.

I would like that too, but there aren't a lot of high end 4 channel amps that deliver higher power. The only ones i've found so far are the rf power 1000-4...love rf but want to try some other brands for amp duty, and zapco ref 1000.4 (this one looks promising as it's a lot cheaper than the arc and rf). I want it to be a 1 amp system, so if you know of any others that would be great.

Is the 1 amp restriction due to space, or preference?
A cheap 4 channel that you would bridge to a 2 channel for those elates, I suggest MB Quart DSC4125. 2x500w rms at 4ohms. Then pick one of the many 1000.1 for the sub.
Since you spending that much money on speakers anyways, you should at least give it the power needed. Breaking into multiple amps will be cheaper. I'm not sure of an amp that can putout that much power in an all in one package. It will be pricey that is for sure.

Look for a memphis belle

^ That was going to be my suggestion as well.

Or an Audison LRX5.1 if you need something a little smaller.

Memphis gets my vote. Not the LRx 5.1

Arc audio 900.6 gets mine. Less power on the subwoofer secion. but MUCH cleaner overall than the memphis.

Cleaner???? Fozzz ran two of those for years and they were very clean. But I guess since we like our bass 20db less then most people - I can see it can be an issue.
The arc 900.6 i a great amp too.

Keep in mind those were the Fultron made Memphis with independent PSU for the sub stage and front stage IIRC.
