In Reply to: I'll likely wait for the pre/pro to crash (or car payment to go away) first. posted by oscar on August 9, 2005 at 10:00:32:
out of those lot, meridian or theta is likely your best bet. not so sure about halcro or sunfire. there's also integra research rdc7.1 and halo c1.i've decided that the prepro market is too thin to really support up to date models. you may not have noticed this, but even the cheapest receivers tend to have better DSPs and support for more formats than very expensive pre pros. because these pre pros don't sell in large volumes, they tend to be several generations behind in technology, and that's inexcusable.
if didn't find the cary, i would have bought either a denon or a harman kardon receiver for use as a pre pro.
