LFD Mark III looks very good , try to get it from a place with 30days MBG. Or.....find someone in your area who owns it.
RWA 30.2 can be ordered with extra inputs and you can switch between them with the flip of the finger. I have heard of one guy who ordered his with 3 ins. Dodd costs $2495 new from Walter or directly from Gary. RWA int. used can be had for around 1K. Another option would be to get RWA and passive preamp like TVC. That passive preamp represents great bang for the buck....and it sounds very, very good. I have ordered mine in four channels configuration for HT & multi-channel audio. There is a great well of info. on AC like tweaks, mods etc. Few other preamps you might want to check out are Blueberry and Mapletree. Both very nice ......I like Berry better...more liquid and more refine IMO. Mapletree on the other hand has its own army of followers with tweaks and mods to get the most out of that great little preamp. One other thing, with RWA int. and seperate preamp you will get more bang for your money and room to expend in the future. If you ever decide to build another system, all you will need is the amp to go with the pre and int. to run the other system. With int. amp your upgrade options are , well...very limited.
At the end it is your money , so take your time , read, ask questions , listen and enjoy the journey.
