you've come to the wrong place. there's a whole section on audiogon devoted to HT. that's where you're thread belongs. please leave us po' folk with only 2 cahnnels to worry about to our own concerns. thank you. bye!
Pre-amp or Pre-pro,, which one to get ?
I have been putting together a system. Here's what I want the pre (amp or pro)to go with. B&W N805's with HTM2 center, a Belles 3 channel 150A, an Arcam alpha 8se and a Sony C650D DVD player. I have rears and a sub too. Right now I am using a Marantz SR7000 to drive the rears and as the pre-pro. I would like to improve my 2 channel sound (HT is already good enough). Are there Pre-amps that somehow have a pass through for a separate surround sound processor? Would I be better off getting a really good 2 channel preamp or a pre-pro (like a Proceed AVP)? Someone suggested using a Vandy processor? Please give your suggestions....
