2.2 Channel System Processor Suggestions


Currently setting up a 2.2 channel system that I will be using for my home theater (have no plans of adding more speakers). I have a pair of ML ESL9's, a NAD m22 power amp as well as two ML 1100X subs and want to use balance connects for all equipment. 
My question is, do I need to buy a Pre/Pro, like the NAD m17 or Anthem AVM60, or is there a scaled down piece of equipment that would work just as well? Most Pre/Pro's have 11 or 13 channels, which is obviously overkill, but I still need something that can support 4k HDMI, has balanced outputs, and would prefer a good room correction software, like Dirac or ARC.

Volume control? I am setting up a similar 2.1 system. Thank you for this thread jimmy225! 
The Classe Sigma 2200i is a integrated amp with HDMI inputs and a subwoofer crossover. It has one subwoofer output, so you'd have to use a Y-splitter cable.


I bought one of these new. Waiting on delivery. They are being very heavily discounted if you google it.
