I think that I'm in the same boat. I have a great pre/pro that I love. It is Dolby Digital only with no input for SACD/DVD-A and no component video switching. The current product is like $3,500.. That is just not going to happen.

I am thinking that a nice Receiver would work for me as a pre. I would not go with the "flagship" type of receiver. In those you are paying a lot of money for an amp section that you will not use.

Here would be my list of contenders:
Denon 2803 - Of the mid-fi type of Japanese stuff I like denon equipment. This is a 7.1 channel w/ all the bells and whistles.

NAD- T752 - My 2-Channel system is NAD and this would be worth a look. I have read that people have concerns about the quality of their HT gear... I have had no problems with my Integrated amp.

Rotel RSX-1055 - I think that they make solid gear, usually slightly more expensive that the NAD, but widely regarded as a great deal in audio.

These are probably all in the $1,000 range. I think that they are listed from least expensive to most.

The above receivers would seem to make good pre/processors and the NAD & Rotel have high current amp sections that could work with 4 ohm speakers.

Good Luck.
