Hot Setup? Pre/Pro for HT and 2ch

I would like to know what setup (products/configuration) people believe to be the best for Home Theater which also allows for audiophile quality 2 channel sound. I have heard that HT pre-amp processors are horrible for use as two channel pre-amps and I'm wondering how people integrate the two different formats to achieve optimum results.

Several others to consider are the Linn AV 5103, Proceed PAV/PDSD combo (skip the AVP if two channel is a big concren), and, if you can afford it, wait for the Mark Levinson HT processor.....at $25,000, it's a little more than I can spend! Make that alot!

J Thunders, I suggest skipping the AVP not because of the DAC's, and you're right, the R/L are the same in the AVP and PDSD, but the PAV is far superior handling analog than the AVP.

And Chester, I agree, got mine as a one week old demo for $4200 in silver with newest software from Linn. Killer pre/pro, it's a little light though, seems for that kind of money, it should weigh more! It's petty, I know, but....
