My equipment is 10 years old and my Marantz Pre Amp died. I need a new PreAmp and don’t want or rather I think I don’t need to spend much more than$2000. I have a Magnapan 3.7i speakers in 7.2 configuration and a Rotel 1095 5 x 200 watt Amplifier and an emotiva amp for my rear speakers. I have a 4K projector. And I need a preamp in the $2000 range. I’m in looking at the Marantz 7704, 7705, 7703 Mii And honestly I can’t tell difference between them. I don’t need HDMI 2.2. But I think it might be reasonable for me to get HDMI 2.0.
All my local HT people in the area have 1 million different recommendations and I don’t feel comfortable with that. So I put it up here to the expert to help me out. I don’t have to have Marantz but seems like they have the most reasonable preamp’s. What are you think.?
