Best Analog pass-through on DSP Theater Pre/Pros?`

Thanks for the suggs.

I think the Krell may be a bit out of my price range...I could swing an HTS1 or HTS2, but the 7.1 is a little bit too much on one componant. I will try to seek out a Proceed to audition...the hard part about that is that I don't have a reference amp yet. I think I am going to start with the pre/pro, and then audition amps with it and my JM Labs. Is my thinking flawed there? Since I know I can get more bang for the buck buying used here on Audiogon, I don't want to ask retail dealers to audition pre/pro + amp packages at home...I like to go to the shops to listen, but if I am not going to purchase retail, I would hate to waste their time.

Any other suggs are happily received.

Thanks,
Z

The Aragon stuff looks nice...especially the Stage 1. Is this the "next generation" soundstage? The only thing I can't ascertain from the product manual is weather or not these units have balanced inputs...

Bummer that there don't seem to be any dealers in the LA Basin (according to the dealer locator on the Klipcsh site anyway)

So after showing my wife both units online, she has agreed to either of these units (so long as I don't actually go after the PASS Aleph 5 I showed her...she said it looks like the monolith from 2001) I am definitly going to buy used here. Has anyone tried both units and picked one over the other?

Ooops...either meaning the Aragon Soundstage or the Proceed AVP.
