I think the only reason to pony up for the higher-end prepros is if 2-channel is important. But then, at those prices I’d rather get a decent prepro and a good stereo pre. To me, the only reason to not do this is if for some reason you can only have one box.
Are the really pricey HT Pre Amps worth it?
Looking at a pre amp upgrade. Are the real expensive pre amps better than a Marantz AV8805? With prices $12k plus for even used high end pre amps here, are the extra $ really worth it?
Currently have a 11.2 Atmos config. Marantz AV8802a, 2 monoprice (ATI) amps, Oppo, Sony 4K projector, etc.
