Need some preamp recommendations with my given setup...

Bullet Head · 09-26-2006, 10:01 PM

originally my system budget was under a $1k to get speakers and a receiver. its grown in the past couple of weeks for reasons i cant explain. so i have a klipsch klf-c7 center, forte main speakers and kef c40s or polk monitor series 4 for rears. i will also eventually get a svs pb10 for a sub.

just bought a nakamichi pa-1 5-channel power amplifier and dont know which preamp would go good with it. obviously i could get a ca-1 but i cant find it anywhere for sale currently.

i need some recommendations for the preamp for under $600, new or used.

how does the yamaha rx-v2500 for 545 shipped sound? anyone?

Have you looked at Outlaw for a Processor?

Wow, your system sure has changed over the last couple of weeks! :-)

Is your friends Rotel RSX-1056 still available? That would make a nice pre/pro for $700 (talk them down to $600!).

The Yamaha RX-V2500 is also a good choice, solid unit.

Am I to guess that HDMI is no longer a requirement for you? :-)

with the different versions of HDMI, i think i should wait a few years before things settle down and all manufacturers have a standard to follow, so for now, no, HDMI is not a necessity.

the rotel 1056 was sold. he wouldnt budge from 700 anyways.

i did think about the outlaw, its a lil out of my budget though.

Come on, it wants you, get it.

no, its out of my range, i think i want to go with the yamaha rx-v2500.

Not a bad choice, on-board processors seem to perform well on most receivers.
