Martin Logan HT-What pre-pro amp


I've got a pair of ML Aerius i's and will be buying the ML Cinema Center, rears are up in the air but I may be able to get a pair of Aerius at a good price.

Question is what would mate well to the Logans. They are very revealing and in my experience don't care for "forward" or "bright" sounding electronics.

I've heard them with Bryston and Levinson and they have performed well. I'd like to spend about 3K used for both pieces. Have considered Classe SSP25 and CAV150. However I'm worried aboout the SSP25's reported inability to lock quickly onto digital inputs (1 second delay). If I use a HDTV Sat. receiver, this could be unuseable when changing channels.

Does anybody know if Classe ever addressed this problem. I've heard all kinds of hearsay on the net.

Any other Logans freaks out there-what do you use, what works for you?

I would suggest sunfire theater grand 2 and cinema 5ch amp, this combo for the money is world class, dont let anybody tell you its not. gayle sanders uses a cinema for his rears and center, 600krell for the mains. I use two sunfire signatures for my mains. statement 2s, and a cinema sig for center,theater and rear prodigys, ive had levinson336 in the system the sunfires were better in my system for my preferred sound. would like to try some big krells but havent been able to.
Try the bat vk200, that's what i use w/my aerius i. And it performs very well. good luck pete
