AV Processor Question

I'm getting the Emotive XPR-5 power amp and I'm looking for the device connectivity.

AV Receivers all seem to come with amplification and I don't need more amplification. I certainly don't want to pay for it if I've already got it.

So I started looking at AV Processors and found they cost more than with the amplification! Presumably they're marketed more to the high end user - but what's a poor boy to do?

What's the best value here? The amp blew my budget so I'm looking for the most for the least.

Thanks - rev

Internetmin's answer was perfect. I'd add that if you're willing to do without audio over HDMI and room correction, a used Emotiva MMC-1 can be had for about $275-300 these days. I used one for several years without complaint. They were certainly more reliable than the UMC-1...although with fewer features.

The MMC-1 switches video over HDMI, but audio will need to run via coax, toslink, or analog RCA into the MMC-1.

Best of luck.
