In Reply to: Anyone using a multichannel analogue preamp like posted by saywhat on March 26, 2007 at 18:32:29:
Actually, I have used all of them except, so far, the Parasound and prefer them to the pre/pros. Certainly, that's so for SACD/DVD-A direct from the analog outputs of the players. With regard to DD/DTS, that depends on the decoding in your player. With the exception of using the Meridian 800/861 for DVD-A or DD/DTS, I rather prefer using the player's decoders and an analog preamp.

Thanks Kal, I am leaning towards the MAP-1 and a Marantz DV9600 universal player. Not sure yet on 5 equal speakers (maybe Dynaudio) or amplifier. Would like a Bryston 9BSST but it is out of my budget. Also thinking of not using a subwoofer at all.Al
No matter how big your main (or all) speakers are, you need a subwoofer designed specifically for the LFE. I tried to do without a sub a long time ago playing with the DTS version of the "Haunting" at too high a volume level; fortunately, the amp cried Uncle before multiple 12" woofers in my main speakers were blown.
...in the LFE channel generally are best produced by a good subwoofer--actually 2 subwoofers--designed for those VERY low frequencies. I have a pair of Woofers By Bob (Carver) (10") Dominators and they do VERY well at those things.The bass ends of my main systems...
...are REALLY good at bass thru about 25Hz, but the SWs sound better at reproducing LFEs. I do NOT use them for music.
.* In some contrast, I've been as audiofool for almost 50 years.
