If it is home theatre AV pre-amp you are looking at (and not 2-channel) then here is another suggestion:
http://www.optomausa.com/soundproduct/AVP18
NuForce AVP 18
it is all digital kit with no outmoded legacy analog inputs or outputs .
it convinced me enough to deep-six my top-of-the-line CAMBRIDGE AV 7.1 receiver in favour of this AV pre-amp and
(a) integrate my 2-Channel audio system by now using my high-end 2-channel system integrated amp with a direct pass-through to run the LF and RF speakers ;
(b) add-in a separate 3-channel high-end quality build power amp and another matched brand high-end 2-channel power amp for the power to the other 5 channels; and
(C) the VANDERSTEEN V2W active subwoofer with a direct line input from the NuForce AVP ... Sub is used for home theatre multi-channel video and audio use only.
highly recommended and a great bang-for-yer-buck and exceeded IMO only by the mega-buck price strata CARY kit .
