| Surround Sound Pre-Amp Look for Meridian multichannel processors/preamps depending on budget the 800 series are outstanding but expensive the 500 series can be found at a very reasonable and are pretty good. | |

| meridian 861 v2.8, is it worth it? The meridian 861 is an outstanding processor/preamp if you ever go for multi channel system it will serve you very well.The only down side for me is the fact that you require a pc to set it up and that can be a challenge. | |
