You might want to keep your eyes out for an Aragon Soundstage. In addition to giving you the HT support you want, it has an excellant preamp section, essentially Aragon's well regarded Aureum pre, and passes an analog signal untouched by its dacs. Seen them posted in your price range, and Aragon offers a reasonable ungrade path to its latest pre/pro.
Processor ?
So I have made the decision on my mains...I am purchasing some JM Labs Cobalt 816s, with the CC800 center. I don't have the surrounds picked out yet, but probably go with the JM monitors. The JMs sounded real good to me, and I can run them from a reciever just fine as they are pretty efficient. I am also going with a Velodyne SPL1000 sub, so I don't need power from the reciever to run it.
My question is this:
Right now on Audiogon, there is a Denon AVR5800 for $1550, and a B&K AVR307 for $2000. What is the better deal, or more importantly, what will be a better match for my speakers? Are there other brands I should be looking at ina reciever (maybe NAD or Rotel?)
Thanks,
Z
