Amps, pre-pro for NHT2.9s

171.69.193.189

Having answered your questions several times in the (Yikes!) AR TT
forum, I'm quite puzzled to see the very same question here. I'm gonna
assume that I (and those who responded to your posts) did not convey
the right information to you. It would probably help a great deal if you
state your price point for the amp and pre/pro units. Your preference(s)
in music (large scale symphonies vs strings, vocal vs instruments, etc).
From the list, I'd go with the Aragon 8008BB as the most musical. That
said, I'd also like to throw in Monarchy Audio and Llano Design into
your list for consideration.
On the preamp side, are you looking for a musical pre-pro unit or a pure
2-channel preamp with options to integrate with a processor unit for HT
application in the future? For an all-digital system like what you've
described in your earlier posts, one way to approach this is to go with
a good preamp with "unity gain" like the BAT VK3i and "extend" the
system to HT with a digital processor like Sony SP9ES. On those preamp
without the unity gain, you can use the AUX input, and dial the preamp's
volume to a known point (say 12 o'clock) and use the processor's master
volume for HT application. These are just suggestions off the top of my
head without knowing what you're looking for. I've also included the
URLs for the answers to your previous questions just in case you missed
them...

Hope the above info helped and you should be able to come back with
more detailed questions regarding your system. Good Luck.
