Ideas on prepro/receiver

[KEW]

Looking for least expensive option with:
1. XLR pre outs
2. Audyssey XT or better
3. Dynamic EQ

This is for 2.1 or 2.2 system
Don't need video processing (but will have tv available if needed for control of unit). Maybe used unit with obsolete video capabilities?
Refurbs or used is fine.

Thanks,
Kurt

For new units, check out the Marantz AV7702 which has a street price a bit over $1600.

I would go to Audiogon and start looking for some older Krells! But, you won't get the Audyssey.

With all of your requirements, I think the options will be somewhat limited. Marantz is also the first manufacturer to pop into my head. Just a note, I think the Marantz units are XLR connectors, probably balanced inputs, but not fully balanced circuit designs.

Yeah, sounds like the description of a Marantz pre-pro - Audyssey XT DEQ, XLR, least expensive.
