A/V receiver or Pre-amp seperate DD-EX & DTS-ES? Help

[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Thread: Display Email Next ] [ Video Asylum ] [ FAQ ]

I am in need of a new pre-amp section for 6.1 H/T audio. I have looked at the Outlaw 1050 as a pre-amp and using their internal amp for the rear center, but they just don't do dts-es or any other 6.1 format other that their proprietary decoding. also looking at the Yamaha Rx-v3000 or Denon 3801. I currently have an adcom gfa-7500 so the first five channel aren't a problem. I am also looking to wait for the Outlaw pre-amp due out at the end of summer. Does any one have any sugestions out of this delima. I dont want to go into a Lexicon (too much money)My system is currently Mits 65" WS-HDTV,Yamaha Rx-v592 and Technics SH-AC500d for DD & DTS decoding, Adcom GFA-7500, Pioneer DV-414, Magnepan MMG L&R, MGCC1 Center, JBL L36 (vintage) surrounds, Velodyne 1012X sub and a Boston VR12 is available for the rear center position. I know quite a mixture of speakers but they ahave been collected over time. Once the preamp issue is set i will look to consolidte the speaker types. Also looking to upgrade the dvd to prog. scan.

Denon 3801 is $800 at Shoppers Advantage (membership is about $60/year, but you save this much -- actually more -- with a purchase of the 3801). The Denon 5800 is $2800.

And now for the age old question....
What's your budget.
You can go around the US$2500 price point all the way out to (literally) 5 figures for pre/pros.
Receivers start a bit cheaper, but also get into the mid 4 figures.

  I just purchased an Outlaw 1050 receiver for $400 and will be using until later this year when I can sort out the whole pre-amp issue. I may not like it after I get it and if so will turn around a sell it. That the beauty of Sites like this and Audioreview.com. the budget is about $1,000 which what the the new outlaw pre-amp will come in at supposedly. I am on their list of beta testers for the unit.
