You are right that the pre/pro section of your A/V receiver will become obsolete soon. For that reason, consider moving up to separates. The AVR-3803 is a decent receiver, with many great features, but if you can afford it, consider an amp and pre/pro combo. A good amplifier will help your Paradigms sound their best, and can last many years without becoming obsolete. With a good separate power amp, you are free to upgrade your pre/pro whenever you wish. If your current receiver has pre-outs, you can start with a new amp, then shop for a pre/pro. Try Outlaw Audio, Rotel and others.
