tgourlie Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I am looking for a best bang for your buck surround preamp. I don't need the holy grail, although it would be nice. With a couple hundred to spend on one, I am thinking of going used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm56 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 You could probably get a nice Sony TA-E1000ES or TA-E2000ES on ebay for a couple hundred or less. Pretty much any pre-pro you look at in that price range though, is gonna be 5.1 only, and be without multi-channel analog inputs. But, if those things aren't an issue, you would probably get on just fine. I've also seen a nice Marantz (9500?) go pretty reasonably.

tgourlie Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 NAD 2200's for amps, going to heresy II's for now, k-horns soon enough. The fisher price model that I looked at was a little complex. Each button was a different color, I would have liked to see a little more uniform design and operation.
