multi-channel solution


Hi

I am a newbie here and want to leave my old receiver behind me and get into more hifi stuff. Need recommendations for a simple 5.1 pre & amplifier solution in the $2,000 range. Player is Pionner DV47Ai, HP Totem Dreamcatcher 5.1

Thank you

"I think it'll be hard to find both pre and amp at that price point. But, consider Outlaw (pre and amp) and ATI (amp). "

Really? Then how do you account for this?

Look at the Reference Series, $2199 for the whole shootin' match. This system will rock your world now and for many years to come...

You can get a used Rotel RSP1068 used along with a Rotel RMB1075 6 channel amp for under $2000 and it will work well for HT, might want a stronger 2 channel amp for fronts but this will be better by a long shot then a mid-fi reciever. The Rotel pre is also 7.1
Check out this reciever
