Take a look at the stuff from outlaw.com, they have good prices and are very well respected as high bang for buck company. Agree also on the Rotel for the same reason. Sorry, that should read: Outlawaudio.com, The new Stereophile guide to hometheater has a good review of the 950 pre/pro and the 770/7-channel amp package which can be had for a very good price from their web site. At this price you could add a tube or passive 2 channel pre with the left over money for very high quality 2 channel music along with the outlaw ICBM bass management unit.
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.
