In Reply to: Used High End Processor Recommendation (<$2,000) posted by bernie on August 22, 2002 at 18:46:50:
Buy a good, new or used home theater receiver like a denon, marantz, or b&k. will have the bells and whistlers including audio bypass, 5.1 inputs, dplII, and the amplifier section will be as good as your yamaha section. stay away from meridian or other processers that are not analog friendly or prepare to forget your vinyl

Why is meridian not analog friendly?Also, thanks for the good advice regarding a receiver but unfortunately receivers lack the authroity to push my AR 9lsi's. While a yamaha m-80 is far from the cleanest or most musical amplifier, it can be bought for $250 bucks and will throw a 1,000 watts per channel at 5.6 ohms without significant distortion. This makes it a good match for the AR 9's.
Once the preamp/processor is taken care of, I will probalbly replace my yamahas with 10 or 12 Marantz MA 500 monoblocks.
Also should I ditch the AR9's for something faster and clearer, most likely I will go with electrostatics. So I will still need serious amplification.
