Upgrade EAD processor or but newer...

I have an older EAD Theatermaster Signature pre/pro (AC-3, 5.1 only). I have the upgrade bug to do something with the processor in the (dedicated) HT system. What would be the best way to go here: upgrade the EAD (via Boelen mods) or purchase a newer used pre/pro here on Agon. Budget is about $2k. BTW, I really don't have the room for anything more than 5.1 right now. Thanks.

Bill, does your Signature have the latest firmware orVFD display? If not then do that and keep the processor.

Do you have a need for video switching? I think Cytocycle is correct in where you should spend the funds.

You can only do 5.1 anyhow.

Yeah I bought a Lumagen DVI switcher with Scaler and WOW it cleaned up my digital cable in a huge way plus now I can run all 4 HDTV inputs that I need (DVI-DVD player, DVI- Media Center PC, Component HDTV Cox Cable, Component HDTV Xbox Kit) Best $1500 I spent on my video but I already had the Projector!

Boelen Mods. Absoltely the way to go. I've never heard a 5 channel I liked till I got my completely modded Theatermaster. Even used in 2 channel, it is much better than my two channel stuff, which has included vintage and modern Goldmund, ML, and Classe omega. My Klyne pre is pretty close, closest I have heard, but I think point made.
