    cruise on over to Audiogon and go nuts.
    90% of the responses will link you over there, anyway.
    Just do a search of your price range under preamps.

    I like my Carver C5. It allows for two imputs to go to two different outputs and has a remote.

    Dodd ELP--your arm is a great remote........The Dared tubed pre has a remote, almost as good, well, some think its as good. Or go crazy save your dough and get a Manley Shrimp, hey its what I do, overspend others money that is. :eek: come to think of it, I spend alot of my own as well on this stuff.

    The Dared is right up there with the Dodd w/the right tubes. It is remote but only has one set of outputs. Are you bi-amping each speaker is that why you need 2 sets of outputs?

    Im new here and this is what i have in mind. I have 2 outlaw mono blocks.they power my 2 fronts. Then I have 6 pair of in ceiling speakers wich i plan on powering with another 2 channel amp. with a 6 speaker selector for the ceiling speakers. I will need 4 amp pre-outs for the 4 amps ??does this sound right ? thanks
