Haha... and I think I knew what is your next target

A used one would be about USD6.2k. But I suggest that you check with the local distributor. Since it is 'only' 7 channels, are you going for a monoblocks for your front or a stereo power amp?
Btw, my avr is now on 'pre-amp' mode.
Boss, money eilek...
Earlier Krell, Theta and Anthem were in mind, now the plan is scraped.
I'm not aiming at mono blocks and not going to follow the 'purist' route. A stereo unit would suffice
So tuakeh, so how is the pre-amp mode on sky dragon?
Does it run as hot as the normal avr mode?
Some in AVS say the pre-amp mode is hype.
It's time for you to get a processor soon for a pre/pro setup.
