best used Pre/Pro for $1000


I'm putting together a home theater system and already have a parasound halo a52 5 channel amp and wondering what would be the best preamp processor I could use in the $1,000 range. My speakers are Thiel Viewpoints as my front L and R, Thiel powerplanes as my center and rears and a theil SS1 sub. I've been thinking about a parasound C2 or integra DHC 80.1 or 80.2. Any ideas??

The Sunfires do a good job in that price range. Should be able to pick one up under $1000 pretty easy. I used one for years, and always liked it. Pretty good for 2 ch. Also.
Those are 3 nice options. Do you need HDMI inputs and outputs? 1.3 / 1.4?
What sources will you need to run through it? Phono/BluRay/HTPC/etc...

Have you looked at the Marantz AV7005??

What are your priorities? Video upscale/ audio quality?
