Surround Receiver For Zu Druid ?

Hi, first post so be gentle :)

I've got a full surroundsystem with the Zu Druids and I was hoping someone here got any idea what would be a good pre/pro or receiver for this system?

This is obviously a compromise in the music department, and a expensive 2 channel tube amp wouldn't be practical enough for me, but I would like the receiver to sound good in stereo, what brands do people use with Zu? or Is It just me who got the Druids for a 5.1 system?

Whoracle,

The Denon AVP A1HDCi is a pre/pro, not a receiver.

Whoracle - Integra is the Onkyo flagship brand - like Lexus to Toyota - go for that if you can get the discount - or do as many of us do, get a top of the line pre/pro from Integra and then a multi-channel power amp to suit - lots of choices there from Anthem to Krell - theory being you get a better amp and the amp is not going to change over time while inevitably the pre pro will

I don't have zu druids but I do have sonus faber grand pianos and I do listen to them in stereo. I have a onkyo 906 and I have to agree with everything said above about it. Sounds surprisingly good for a receiver. I was blown away. I stepped down from current lexicon pre/pro and levinson amps and it sounds damn near the same. Its a great receiver.

Suppose I could go for a Pre of some kind, and a Parasound A 51 pro? Witch I get good prices on.
