Multi channel preamps

Any recomendations for multi channel preamps?
Audio Refinement Pre5 (no longer in production) is basically what I'm talking about. Just a preamp with 5.1 in/out. Parasound had a prototype of a similar product that never made it to production.

Minimalist surround sound.

Thanks for any and all responses!

Neither the Sony nor the Linar have any internal processing but the Linar does have power amps!

the EMM Labs Switchman Mk3 is wonderful and it's exactly that - a 6-channel preamp with no processing at all. it's easy to adjust levels and channel trims. and it sounds as good as any 2-channel pre i've ever heard.

That Switchman looks awesome.
That is it.

Have you listened to it?

THoughs/oppinions?

Thanks!

Since you didn't mention price, my favorite MCH analog pre-amp is the Bel Canto Pre6. It sounds great and is remarkably flexible.
