best pre/pro under $5,000


New or used...I have seen and heard the proceed, krell, and theater grand III. Not sure if I should be looking in another direction. Need to have a 2nd zone for multi room listening. I do 50/50 2 channel and movies. Would love to spend closer to $3,000 if possible. I have read about the Classe 75 and the McIntosh MX 134, but have not reviewed mysef. As always your comments are appreciated

Looks like Krell is offering a killer deal that might fit your budget. http://www.krellonline.com/tradeup/t_index.html
This processor is one of the best available.
Theatergrand III is one that you should find and check out, I have the theatergrand II, sunfire took a great product and made it even better. Has it all, easy to use, and is a very good two channel pre to boot.
You might want to take a look at this thread regarding the Outlaw Pre-Pro. While i'm not suggesting the Outlaw is the best for your budget, the person that posted this review also included their thoughts on quite a few other pre-pro's that they've had. Sean
