suggestion for a multi channel pre/amp please


I am looking for amp / preamp suggestions that can run multi-channels; I have existing 6 wall speakers that I need to run with my cd player. I am not too knowledgable with these things so I apologize for any silly questions. Do I need a multi channel amp and pre? do I need both, or which one can I purchase first? My budget is is the low-mid $2k range used or new. Thanks for your help.

One last thing to ask: You said 6 in walls? If so, are you willing to forgo the rear center? Most stuff is 5.1 anyway. Why buy a 6 channel system if you really want 5?

In your price range, you can find a nice used anthem, rotel or similar with a quality 5 channel amp. Also, check out www.outlawaudio.com. I don't recommend a reciever, go with seperates.
