Jmetrisin,
Your idea of separate pre/pro and amps is a good one, and for the reason you mention. I suspect you already know enough to make an informed selection. Aside from the info sought, I think you got some good equipment suggestions, especially the Theta combo. Many companies have PDA versions of manuals that you can download, so you can look at details about how well a unit might fit your application, e.g. how the Theta pre/pro deals with a sub.
