Entry Level Recievers as Processors?


I am hoping to upgrade from my Pioneer VSXD509s an amp that has served me well but now that I feel the need to move towards seperates, has no pre-outs.

So I am seeking an interim solution.
Options I am considering are receivers with pre-outs that I can use temporarily until I can graduate to a proper processor.

Arcam AVR200
Harman Kardon AVR325
Yamaha RXV1300
Denon AVR-2803
NAD T752
Integra DTR-6.4

Thoughts?

I would recommend the Denon AVR-3803 over the 2803. I've listend to both and the 3803 sounds less strained(used a parasound 5ch amp while auditioning). I'm going to be auctioning off a Sunfire theater Grande II in a few days for less then the cost of a 3803. Has about 10 hours on it. It was a temp unit while waiting for an Anthem AVM20.
