best sounding 7.1 pre/pro for under $5000 ?

Posted by audioNeil (A) on April 24, 2003 at 19:09:49

I'm looking for the best sounding HT 7.1 pre/pro for under about $5000 U.S. new (of course I would want it cheaper second hand).

I currently use a Placette preamp for stereo, and it gives wonderful sound! I don't want to degrade the quality of stereo sound, but I would prefer if I could use just the pre/pro as my preamp. I also want excellent 5.1 pass-through for multi-channel SACD. And ... I listen to 7.1 home-theatre, and excellent sound for HT is also a must (though the analog is more important). I don't really need video switching, if the unit does only audio (like the Bryston SP1.7).

I've been looking at the Bryson SP1.7, and the Classe SSP-60 . (I live in Canada, so these give me a good bang for the buck). I haven't heard either, though.

Which 7.1 pre/pro units should I be looking at?

Thanks,
Neil
