Best Pre/Pro for 2 channel


I am considering going with separates to handle HT and Stereo listening. I currently use a Creek 5350se for my stereo listening, which is my priority. I only need 5.1 for HT purposes. I want something that will make getting rid of my Creek worthwhile. I listen to pretty much everything but put a premium on the musicality of accoustic jazz and classical. I am also looking to upgrade other components so I can't tell you what else it will be used with. I've read reviews on Classe, Parasound, Lexicon, Krell. Any help out their?

Thanks,
rrekstad

I like what Sbank said! Aragon Soundstage, Classe SSP25 used, Krell HTS used(only digital domain for you here really, but pretty musical that way for CD's and such...but not beatten soniclaly for DD/DTS dubties!), and similar. I think the Classe and Aragon are the great values with their "dirrect analog inputs" for 2 chanel, with 5 channel input with the Aragon! Both units for like $1300-1500 range used. Can't miss there....and all sonically pure and neutral sounding with DD/dTS!
