Sorry, it sounds nice but Im leaning towards a more modern pre/pro Like the Rotel 1068/1098 or the Sunfire TGIII or IV.
Opinions on replacement for B&K ref20
My B&K ref20 has given up. It no longer powers up, so its time to move on. First of my system.
B&K ref 20 pre/pro
Cinepro 3k6II amp
Polk SRT speakers
Mitsubishi 50" rear projection
Infocus XGA 100" front projector
I had a Classe SSP25 which was very nice but didnt have all the bells and whistles. I got the B&K in a smokin deal that I couldnt pass up and it had better features for my system so I sold The Classe. Now I would like my next unit to be an upgrade from the B&K. I like the sound of Dolby PLII and I'd like to have 7.1 capability even though I wont be using it right off. Money wise I think Im in the $1500 range used of coarse. Some units I have been looking into-
Rotel 1066-$800, 1068-$1400, 1098-$2200
Acurus Act3-$999
B&K ref50-$1500
Outlaw 950-$1000
Adcom GTP860-$???
Anthem AVM2-$1000, AVM20-$1750
What else? Which is better and why? I realize some are much more of an upgrade than others, Im just trying to weigh weather I need alot or a little better.
