Please help me select a used processor/preamplifier that will serve me well into the future. I have considered Proceed AVP, Lexicon DC-1,2 and Classe SSP-25 and love their higher build quality. Should I consider a newer, originally less expensive alternative that may be more resistant to technical obsolescence?The processor will be used about 75% for video from DVD and satellite sources. However, I do not want to make any significant sacrifice in terms of audio. I have enjoyed listening to SACD and DVD-A demos and it would be nice if these formats are compatible. I definitely listen to a lot of vinyl.
The processor will core a 5.1 system with a widescreen front projector for display. My front and rear speakers are vintage AR9's. These play full-range and very deep. I will use mid-fi yamaha amplifiers for now but will upgrade later.
