Home Theater Preamp/amp advice.


Greetings,

I have about $2,000 to spend on a home theater Preamp + 5 channel amp combo. Can you experts out there recommend some brand/models to look for on the used market in this price range?

Thanks.

I ran my GPs with a B&K 200.7 for a while and it was a nice combination, especially for home theater. Used it with Thiel SCS3 and SF Concertino's for surrounds. It was a nice combo. Have the 200.7 running Thiels in another setup now and that works nicely also.

Good luck with your hunt.
Jmetrisin, Is there a particular reason you don't like your system for music, since you only listen to music about 5% of the time?
I really do like my system for music, it's just that my lifestyle has changed a bit, and I only seem to listen to music in the car or on the go. Not so much at home. No particular reason I guess.
BTW... I guess I owe you all some follow-up. I ended up purchasing the following to round out my system:

Rotel-1095 amp
Integra DHC-9.9 pre
Paradigm SA-35 surrounds
Sonus Faber Solo Home center.

All from right here at audiogon.

I'm still waiting on some items for shipping, and I need to get some electrical work done to accomodate the amp so it will be several weeks before I'm up and running.

Thanks to all who responded. I got some good tips and you've all been very helpful.
