I suggest a really nice preamp like the Classe' SSP25 ($2600 street price) and the Classe' CAV75 6x75w amp which can be bridged if you want to add another amp down the road. As I understand it, DVD-audio will be a decoding function of the player.
More critical? Amp or Signal Processor Pre-amp
I am considering buying a 5.1 home theatre. I don't know which i should spend most of my money on;the Pre-amp signal processor or the amp to drive it. I like Mcintosh and I have Klipsch speakers. My budget is around $3k. Please Help!!! Thanking in Advance... Louis
