I have older KLF series of speakers in a 5.1 setting. I'm seeing some very nice 5 channel amps on CL, like Parasound, Rotel, etc. just nice equipment for low price. However...I need HDMI, need DTS-HD, basic audio support for new Blu Ray movies, etc. I could get a new Denon, Onkyo, Harman/Kardon, receiver and be done with it...but for some reason I'm tempted to pick up a nice slightly used Amp which would put me in a position of trying to find a nice sounding pre-amp that meets my HT needs for not much $. Seems more and more of the $300-$500 receivers don't have pre-amps anymore. Any suggestions?
thanks,
