Looking for a new Pre/pro,amp or Receiver for around $5k. Little help please. (1 Viewer)

[Greg Risley]

Well the upgrade bug has bitten again. This was brought about because I was presented with the opportunity to buy a Krell Showcase Pro and amp for $5k. Does anybody have any recomendations in this same price range I might be happier with, or should I just go for the Krell combo. I do need atleast 2 component inputs, 5.1 or 7.1 inputs. I am using 5 JMlabs 707 chorus speakers with plans for another pair, and a velodyne sub., Sony SACD player, and my Hi-def cable box. My didcated and sealed room is only 17' x 12'. I am not intrested in multi room. Mainly I use the system for movies but I do want good 2 channel sound, I mainly listen to accoustic music. I am currently using a NAD T753 reciever which is a good receiver, but just a little laid back for me, and I had previously had the Acurus ACT-3 and A125x5 amp combo which was great but was lacking in the switching and inputs.

Thanks for any info or feedback.

Greg

I have been hearing a lot of great things about Anthem and Emotiva.
