RE: A kind request of advice - Downmix from 5.1 to 2.0

The Emotiva UMC-200 would be an excellent pre/pro and got a rave review in Sound & Vision but it does not have the loudness control that you want, not even a proprietary one. It is currently marked down from $699 to $499 on Emotive's website. I don't know if you can find a good entry level pre/pro with loudness control. Maybe a used one? You can get an A/V receiver, between $450 and $650, with loudness control and use it as a pre/pro though.
