Another option would be the Magnum Dynalab 208 receiver. It is awesome, perhaps the best receiver ever made, for two channel and has pass through for home theater. It can be had used for $2000 or less.

Need Help w/Audible Illusions Modulus 3a
An opportunity has come my way to purchase an AI M3a for cheap (friend). I am currently building my system, which consists of:
Spendor S5e Speakers
Spendor Sub 3
Arcam CD73t Digital
Rega Planar 3 TT
Audiolab 8000a Integrated Amp(trying to replace w/seperates)
As you can see it is a bit of a budget system, however the Audiolab is the weak point. I am trying to accomplish two things: First, I want to eventually incorporate an HT system into a 2-channel without sound quality loss...ie I need a pre amp that will allow pass through. This brings me to my first question...is there a way to accomplish this "pass through" with the Audible Illusion pre? Secondly, if the first question can be answered, YES, then I'd appreciate a used amp recommendation that would match my system well (roughly $1k range). I've thought of using McCormack or Muse...any thoughts?
Thanks for your help.
