Remote Preamp $1000 Used

Hope all had a good 4th. I am looking for suggestions to begin a search for a preamp with a remote. I am looking for a preowned unit less for than $1000 for a second system.

I will be using it with Audio Physic Step LEs, a Marantz 8 amp and a Sony 555ES. In addition, I will most likely be hooking up a dvd player and a new hdtv. I also need it to be able to control two amps as I will be picking up a relatively inexpensive second amp to run 3 sets of inwalls we have throughout the house. I do not need HT bypass as we are sticking with two channel. At present I am using an Audio Research LS 1 pre but, for the sake of flexibility and familial harmony need a pre with a remote.

Thanks much to all.

If you like your LS-1, I would look at the Sonic Frontiers Line 1. To my ears, Sonic Frontiers is the closest to ARC inasmuch as it's VERY neutral (NOT tubey) and maybe even somewhat lively.

I'm a big fan of both ARC and SF. Great build quality and VERY musical.
