The Onkyo PRO PR-SC886P is surely a great pre/pro at a very great price.
Man, that Onkyo 886 @ A4L for $1K sure is tempting!!!!!!

I'll say, go for it. You are due to an upgrade anyway. That will certainly be the best one, and at that price its a no-brainer. (Smilie here.)
Plus you'll be able to choose your own favorite multichannel amplifier(s) to match it perfectly, and with balanced connections too. (Another smilie here too.)

Note: Again, how do I regain access to my smilies?
Oups! I just noticed an "error on page", at the bottom left.
I will exit the site, and reaccess it again. I'll bet that will fix my problem. (Smilie here.)
