Is there a high quality (but not exotic) preamp, current or past model, which would do the trick?Two stereo preamp with an universal remote control?
Preamp with Dual Zone and Remote Independent Volume Control?
Hello y'all,
I am running simultaneously two pairs of very different full range large speakers (Magneplanar and vintage JBL) from the same source using the dual zone feature of my Denon receiver as a preamp. I use two separate stereo power amplifiers, a NAD and a Yamaha, one for each set of speakers. The Yamaha is driven from the Denon’s pre-out jacks and the NAD is driven from the Denon’s zone 2 outputs.
The Denon’s dual zone feature allows independent volume control of both sets of speakers from the same remote. All this works and sounds actually much better than it sounds.... ;-)
I am looking to replace the Denon (which is used only as a preamp) by a proper preamp with similar dual zone control capability which again would allow to balance the two sets of speakers "on the fly" from a remote.
Is there a high quality (but not exotic) preamp, current or past model, which would do the trick?
Thanks!
Yoram
