I think the Rogue Audio 88 amp and 66 preamp would be worth looking into. Used they will cost somewhat more than your budget allows. I have no first hand experience with their preamp, but know it to be highly regarded. I am familiar with the 88 amp which I consider to be excellent.
pre-amp and amp for 1K
Can someone point me to some used (or maybe new)pre-amp and amp combo's that would be great with my Soliloquy 5.3 speakers for $700-$1200?
It would be used for music 85% of the time, but I still need to maintain the ability to watch decent 5.1 channel movies. The reason is... I have a 5 channel receiver, but how do integrate that into a HT system and not use it as a pre or amp for music?
