In this range look at Rotel. Also for a little more you might be able to get a proceed avp here for 1500 or so and upgrade later to the avp2. A conrad johnson or proceed amp5 would cost around 2000 to 2500. Nice fit. The cj is very warm and the proceed is well proceed.
Best Musical Home Theater 5-channel Amp/PreAmp
I posted a similiar question about Musical Home Theater Speakers over in the Speaker forum. As stated there I'm getting ready to do a massive upgrade on my home audio system. The wife wants a Home Theater setup and I must agree I have several multi-channel audio DVD discs already so any new future system must be multi-channel. I'd prefer at least 5.1.
I listen to music about 90% of the time so I'd like to have a more "musical" setup. I would like some feedback from you guys about such system you may own or have heard. I basically am a rock music guy that listens to blues, acoustic guitar based and some jazz.
I probably will go with Amp and Pre-Amp/Processor setup for a better sound. Some AVR systems may be worth a look. My total spending limit is $3000. I recently saw a Sheroud 5/1500 amp selling for under $1000. Seemed like a good price.
Thanks in advanced for any advice.
