need a"3d" pre/pro for under 5K? Suggestions welcome
Hello gentleman, constant lurker first time poster. In my media room I currently run a B&K ref 70 and a B&K 200.5. Center is HTM2, fronts are B&W 803s. Backs are 805s. Happy with the system, but B&K has went out of business. My Ref 70 has died two years in. Im nowlooking for a new pre/pro with 3d (for the kids) for under 5K that can power my beast! Any suggestions will be more than welcome. Just hate the idea of losing great sound for the sillyness of 3d, but If kiddos aint happy then daddy cant be happy.
PS. Putting children up for adoption is not a viable option at this point per wife.

When you're arguing with an idiot, make sure the person you are speaking to isn't doing the same thing.

Welcome to the forum!
Outside of 3D, are there any particular features that you would like? For example, is there a specific auto calibration routine that you favor (i.e. Audyssey, MCACC, YPAO)?
Also, what's your budget for this?
I use a Pioneer Elite as my pre/pro. I only went to the Elite line in 2009 because I couldn't get all of the features (namely, pre-amp outputs) in the regular line like I could in 2005. I've been very happy with it and the MCACC auto calibration. I've read good things about the latest Audyssey MultEQ, though, and how it can also calibrate subwoofers.

The OP did say a prepro, and that is what he is replacing. Does he mind using a receiver? That's a pretty nice rig he's got there. Anthem comes to mind, do they offer three d yet?
If it is a prepro, he is pretty limited with the 3d options. Jinjuku nailed it if that is indeed the case.
Quad 12L Active,Aperion 8A Sub, LexiconDC1,Samsung BDP2550,Escient SE80,Panasonic42PX,ParasoundHCA1000 for zone 2

From the Anthem website it looks as if only their receivers do 3D. The Integra is awefully tempting: Audyssey XT32/Pro/DSX. Balanced outputs.
Not sure if Integra Electrical Engineers are dullards compared to the guys over at Anthem.

Thanks Gentleman I am going to start looking at all these products or at least looking into them. I have also considered purchasing another good used B&K ref 70. Then buying the Oppo DVD to cure my 3d problem. Any thoughts or am I just pissing money into the wind at that point? Even though I love how the B&K performed I hate to get hung with another peice of equipment from a defunct company.
