Well, Am just starting to look for a Sound surround preamp. There are a lot of stuff out there to choose from. I am looking for something that I can use for the home theater but also for just music. I am aware of some nice stuff like the Bryston sp1.7, and the Anthem avm20.
I really like the Sp1.7 because it as a analog side that stays totally analog for things like the old turntable. The problem is the price tag. Here in Canada , its sells for $5.500. That’s a lot of money for a preamp.
I was just wondering if anyone would have any recommendation or suggestions.
Its still early in my research and any help would be appreciated.

I know that this is not a Jbl subject but it will be use to drive my 4435, for what its worth.
