Re: Audiophile seeks processor advice

I have been on the same journey. Here are my suggestions, assuming of course that video switching is not important to you & your main interest is sound quality: buy a used Rotel processor, they are as "musical" as you are likely to find at the price point, plus on the used market they are dirt cheap, because the older ones don't have component switching or DTS-EX, etc. However, if you are looking for a 5.1 system as an add on to your current 2 channel system, a used processor becomes a cheap way to get into HT. You will need 3 more channels of amplification & extra speakers, plus setup can be a bit of a challenge, but you are using tubes right? So you are likely up to the task ;-)

Myriad & Acurus processors have received good reviews, but I have not heard them. If you don't need the lastest or greatest, there is lots of prefectly good used stuff out there.
