Seeking AV preamp for Emotiva XPR-5
Dudes:
I'm crestfallen. I bought the Onkyo TX-NR515 only to discover through this forum that I can't connect it to my Emotiva XPR-5 power amp because it doesn't have any pre-outs.
I've spent thousands and I still haven't heard the system! When I tell my wife this is absolutely essential equipment and much more important than the car or the bills - she doesn't understand :) so I have to get this right.
Can anyone recommend a preamp or receiver with preouts that will connect to my power amp? I'm sure I'll be happy with anything that has at least 3 HDMI inputs and can read MP3s from flash memory or a USB hard drive.
My speakers are all 4 ohm Magnaplanars:
MG 1.6 Front
MG CC2 Center
MG MC1 Rear
Her understanding is at a very low ebb right now so my budget is down to about $600.
Thanks - rev
