Home Theater Processor Wish List

Does anyone know of a home theater processor that:

-Allows the user to use Dolby Pro Logic II and other surround modes with the option of keeping the signal going to the front R and L speakers unmodified.
-Allows the setting of custom subwoofer levels for each input.
-Allows for an analog direct mode that also sends the signal to the subwoofer.

The only way I can think of to achieve #1 is to use a quality two-channel preamp for the R and L channels, and use its tape out to send the signal to a home theater receiver.

The only way I can think of to achieve #3 is to use a splitter to send the processor's subwoofer output as well as the processor's tape out to the subwoofer.

I think, perhaps Meridian might work for you as it runs more on a computer chip that is programmable.

A word to the wise. I looked in your direction as i wanted surround while not losing my 2-channel Audio Aero DAC.

Many recent threads agree that 2-channel is more than good enough and what you are trying to do will become very frustrating.
