In Reply to: Re: Need Suggestions for stand alone HT Processor to feed homebrew pre/pwr amps? posted by audioschef on September 15, 2002 at 23:08:17:
Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm afraid that $3,000 is way out of my range. That's kind of the reason I started building my own amps. I was hoping there was a Yamaha or some other lower end processor that would decode into 5.1 for the same range of prices as some of the lower end receivers out there (Onkyo TX-SR500 is $300 or so).
I was hoping that without the amplifier sections, I might be able to find something with the same Surround Sound functions for a similar price?
Thanks,
Erik.

There is a rotel model for around $1k, I don't know if it has analog pass through. Audiogon.com and audioreview.com have used deals from time to time but no warrenty etc. The AVM-2 has been on audiogon for around $1200. For considerably less you can get a Denon receiver and use the pre-outs. My parents have one that was $600 two years ago (probably used today for under $300). It has pre-outs for your amps and analog pass through. The remote is not very good and sometimes is confusing. Hopefully they improved it since then.
I usually find that of the Denon, Yamaha and Sony group that Denon sounds the best, Sony and Yamaha have the most bells and whistles and are usually easier to use. But this is based on what research I did two years ago. Good luck.
