So I wanted to know what preamp should I get for my home theater it has to be a 5.1 or a 7.1 I only use 5.1 anyway but can't go any more than $200 and it has to sound really good. 5.1 Surround sound is what i'm looking for and I have 3 Crown xli 800's already but it has a dampening factor of 200 and so I like to go loud and it has to sound good even at high levels if I wanted to. I don't think my old yamaha's will do that job and they are more than likely to be not lasting much longer since one of mine had got some repair coming it's way it got a blown capacitor today and so I have no audio that is in surround sound right now.
