cheap 5.1 processor

[serosmaness]

Hi . I was wondering if anyone knew of a cheap processor preamp that I could use with the amps I have. It seems you can buy the entire system for peanuts but not just a 5.1 preamp.
Thanks Steve.

Hi Steve,

Since you are in the US I think this Outlaw Audio http://www.audaud.com/audaud/SEP03/E...uip1SEP03.html Looks like a good option.....

I'd get one myself except for the fact it's direct sales and I can't

The only other option I've looked at that is not grossly expensive is the rotel RSP-1066 (still expensive but nothing like arcam or krell)... Although reviews I have read, do say that even in bypass mode it sounds a little "processed"..... here is a review pitting it against a krell (big pdf!) http://www.homecinemachoice.com/cgi-...?reviewid=3368

edit: The primare in that review might be an option too, not availale here in Aus as far as I can tell though.

Tony.
