Yamaha A4A Receiver or specific pre amp?


Is there a pre amp out there that is similar or equal to the RX A4A in chips & features? Dealer said pre amps are pretty much out. Said A4A had a host of lates& up date able features. What to do?

You looking to maintain the home theater multichannel or shifting to just 2 channel stereo?  What are you trying to achive or make better?

Quickly, if staying in the home theater market, yes, there are many.  Just Google "a/v processor" or "home theater processor" and you will get many choices, although they tend to be much higher in price than the A4A.  Brands like Anthem, Emotiva, Marantz, Rotel are among the bigger names.  You also have options to use the preamp outputs and add off-board amplification.

If looking at 2 channel preamp, then the question is what features and what you are trying to accomplish need defining first.

As it says same features. 7.1, latest hdmi, earc processing chips etc. Just don't need the amp part of receiver.
