Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music

Or I should say, best surround preamp that has excellent 2 ch music capability. Basically I am 90% music / 10% HT, and I want to have a surround processor that is excellent for music listening (so as long as the processor has a 5.1 output I am fine, don't need too much features there).

What should I looked at if I want to spend <$1500? Would prefer a silver finish and gently used on A'gon is fine. What do you think? I heard about the Proceed AVP that should be great for 2 channel, another other recommendations?

Thanks.

About the EAD gear used for 2 channel.I totally agree.
The Theatre Vision DVD player when used as a cdp is ok when you use the analog outs.It is really transformed into a different player when you run from its digital out(I use Harmonic Tech Magic one 1.5 m)into the Ead 5.1 processor.
I always marvelled at how good the sound was at the end of rented DVDs.I tried the dvd player. the processor and the EAD 500 amp with my CLS speakers and couldn't be happier with my 2 channel sound.Oh I bought a cheap Yami for the HT.Smooth, yet detailed sound,very musical.
