>> It seems like an extra $250 is worth it for the extra watts and the premap (especially for a receive that is normally twelve hundred bucks), although I'm still having a hard time understanding the preamp exactly.
(my apologies for top-posting in my previous reply) One more thing: If your current speaker setup isn't going to change with the extra wattage provided by your new receiver, you'll get very little improvement from it, wattage-wise - unless your speakers are currently being under-driven. Best component in your audio-chain should definitely be your speakers. --Jason /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
