Suggestions for HT recieiver with Pre-outs.

A friend of mine has just been bitten by the high end audio bug. He wants to get a receiver but I suggested that he get a receiver that has pre-outs. This will obviously give him the option to substitute the power for music with a stronger power amp. The problem is,,,,,,,,he doesn't want to spend more than 3 or 4 hundred bucks right now. Are there any Home Theater Receivers that have pre-outs under 4 hundred bucks?

please help

Costco had the Pioneer 711 for $200 recently. I was sorry I'd already spent more on a receiver - it should meet your pal's needs very nicely.

I WOULD trip on pre-outs. It's nice to upgrade a step at a time... That way you're not splitting the budget when you go separates... you buy all the amp you can afford - then later a nice expensive preamp - then maybe you realize the preamp is an expensive volume control and go back to just a receiver with extra balls added... LOTS of fun!

Good luck anyway... but I would not buy a receiver with no preouts at any price if I were you or your friend.
