Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

RE: potential system

You'll either have two systems, one for hi-fi and one for home theater or not.

If you only want one system by all means go the home theater route. An Arcam or Cambridge Audio AVR sounds great in stereo.

I have a dedicated two channel system, but I enjoy watching music videos (Kraftwerk, for example) on my home theater.

Another possibility - get a high end headphone setup for two channel listening. The Sennheiser HD800's with a good (VERY GOOD) amp are pretty amazing.

There is a very interesting review of the Parasound P7 where it's compared to a Marantz AV pre and a very expensive German pre. Google for the Parasound and you'll find it. It raises very interesting questions about how similar good gear is these days.
