advice on 5.1 or 7.1 pre/pro

hello,
i would like some input in helping decide which pre/pro to choose. i'm looking for something in the 2-3k range, would like to have comp. video switching. i currently have an earthquake cinenova 5-channel amp, this does not have balanced inputs so that will not be a factor in the pre/pro.
any advice or experience anyone has had would be greatly appreciated.
also, i have def tech bp3000 and clr 1000's as speakers
thanks

In the way of a general, not specific recommendation:

If good surround envelopment is a priority, and your room does not have a physical limitation to a 7.1 speaker array, then I recommend getting a 7.1 PrePro with DPLIIx and / or Logic7, not a 5.1 PrePro.

Thanks
Bruce

Factory upgraded Acurus Act 3 to Aragon Stage One status. I've one, and its simply superb!
7.1, DPLII, flexible adjustable bass mngment (40=125hz),8 channel throughput, direct analog in's, etc! And it's as dynamic and uncolored as I've come across! Definiltey more dynamic than even the Krell. Very nice...if you can find one

Flrnlamb,

Does it have DPLII, or DPLIIx? If its DPLII, I'm curious to know how it does 7.1.

Thanks
Bruce
