Best 7.1 pre amp used or demo for 2000.00???

Ok, it looks like I have some research and listening to to. At least now I know what models to look at. Thank you chadnliz for being the voice of reason. I think most people have to be convinced to spend more, I am the other way around. You make a good case for the 1068.....and I am hearing you loud and clear. Thanks also to those who have steered me in the direction of something better. I will be checking out those options too.

No matter what you decide...aint' upgrading freakin great?!!!

I do like swapping new stuff into my system. Especially when it makes a difference. I hope the new processor justifies the dollars spent. My X girlfriend did the math and informed me that I could buy her a three carat diamond for what I have spent on my system. I said "Yes, but what do you suppose it would sound like ?" Long story short,I am going to miss her! However, now that B&W has the new diamond tweeter I am thinking that maybe she was onto something!

LOL, One time my wife asked me to tell her my fantasy, and I asked why?.."your not in them!"

I've been looking at the Rotel 1068 to go with my Rotel 1095 but have been already attacked(a pre-purchase attack!)by upgrade-itis and am examining a nice deal on a Meridian 561. Or a 568, which is a little more dough. Any thoughts on the Meridien? it's in the Lexicon mc 1 range....Ain't upgrading wonderful? My wife calls my purchases "that black thing.."
