    Jolax, only you will be able to tell if it is good with your system. The recommendations that we have given you are all good from reputable companies that make good gear. It is up to you to do more research to see if they have all the reqmts that you need it to have. Once you find one with a price you are willing to pay get it.

    Once again good recommendations for a PreampProcessor & amplifier are

    Emotiva (Internet direct), Outlaw Audio (Internet direct), Parasound, Rotel, Sunfire, Nad, Adcom, Sunfire, B & K. Pioneer also puts out a prepro that people rave about. Do a search for it on here.

    The first 2 will probably have the lowest prices for brand new. The others you can get used for less on Audiogon.
    Marantz AV-7705 PrePro, Classé 5 channel 200wpc Amp, Oppo 103 BluRay, Rotel RCD-1072 CDP, Sony XBR-49X800E TV, Polk S60 Main Speakers, Polk ES30 Center Channel, Polk S15 Surround Speakers SVS SB12-NSD x2

    Apphd, yes, I have considered DSW Pro 500 for my sub. I am currently have HDVD player that converts to 1080p and it has a HDMI output. As for a pre pro AVR, is there one that does not has a built in amplifier? Just wondering if there is one out there but has all the latest and greatest feature such as being able to take HDMI.

    This is where you have to make decisions. With your HDVD player and Panny I would definitely be looking for something with HDMI (although not necessary if your HDVD player has multi ch analog out or you do not care about the latest HD audio formats and 1080P vid.).

    Outlaw (997) and Emo (UMC1) are not released yet but should be soon.
    When????? So no one can say if these are true options or headaches. If you are not in a hurry and want to wait for these to start shipping...fill any pre-orders....and reviews get out I am willing to bet they both will offer some sale paired up with one of their amps.

    As far as I know Rotel (RSP1570) I think is shipping which is HDMI 1.3 plus they have the RSP1098 that is a little older but only HDMI 1.1 which may or not matter to you.
    Sunfire's TGP-401 is HDMI 1.3, Adcom's GTP-870 ready to go as well.
    There are probably others as well. HDMI was slow to make it into the pre-pro world, that and pricing is why you see so many of us using AVRs as pre pros.
    Like has been said this is where you need to do some research to see what they offer and at what price.
