Pre Pro And Amplifier Instead Of Receiver


My Onkyo 807 receiver just quit.

How would you spend your money if you had $1200.00 or less to spend on a pre owned pre pro and amplifier for 5.1 home theater?

I seem to use my system in a very basic way just watching satellite tv and blue ray. I occasionally stream net flix thru apple tv. My speakers are salk songtowers and are efficient. I enjoy great sound quality within the budget.

Thank you all for your responses!

I will admit that in general I have enjoyed my Onkyo 807 and would consider another onkyo but it appears the reliability factor with the hdmi boards and audio drop outs plague multiple of their models. At present, I'm feeling like reliability is pretty important.

I assume the thought process for going for another receiver vs a used pre pro and used amp, is my budget is a bit low and the newer receivers have the latest video capabilities?

The new Emo gear is appealing. Would the quality be better than a new receiver? Anybody tried the UMC-200 pre pro and UPA 500 amps together?

My use for this set up will be 100% home theater.

Thank You!
