I would like to start a discussion on prepros available in the $900-1500 price range. Please tell us what you would buy or did buy in this price range....and why? We all have various needs and desires: 2 channel vs HT, 5.1 vs 7.1, new vs used, brand/cosmetic preferences, etc.
I'll list a few and count used prices too; of course there are many more choices out there:
$900-1500 PREPROS:
Outlaw 950: good sonics, full 7.1, lowest price.
Rotel 1066: good sonics, full 7.1, looks really good
EAD Encore (used): good dacs for 2 channel; only 5.1 and DPL1
Lexicon DC2 (used): great HT with full Logic7 (same audio innards as MC1), no analog bypass or 5.1 inputs, so-so for 2 channel
Aragon Soundstage (used, without the $800 upgrade): has "inside" Aragon best analog preamp, the $2k Aurum. Only 5.1 and DPL1
Acurus Act3 (used) with the $950 upgrade: has most of Aragon Soundstage features and processing, and near sound quality
These are all great choices and can be confusing :P
