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

Do yourself a favor- Go EAD be it a used and upgrade it or new. You will be a happy camper and you will without a doubt smoke the three you listed!

EAD Clearly Comes Out on Top for sound quality and looks. Not for ergonomics though...

I am a EAD owner.

Good Luck.

B&K Reference 50 is hands down the best PRE/PRO on the market for under $5000.00. I would invite you to read some reveiws on the unit. I have yet to see a review that found anything wrong with it. I have owned mine for several months and can not be happier. I will never need to upgrade.

I'm in Ejliu camp. The Anthem AVM-20 is simply
one of the best pre/pros at any price.
