AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality

If you are looking at the Parasound preamps, I did mention that the P7 is the best sound quality.  The P7 only has the ability to set your subwoofer crossover at either 50hz or 80hz in the menu setup (which I think should work just fine for you).  However, if you want a truly variable crossover, you'll need to get the P5 or P6, which allows you to adjust crossover anywhere from 20hz up to 140hz.

The parasound P7 is 7.1 and the P6 is 2.1 the P6 is a newer unit with DSD and  usb inputs if those are needed. 

You might be able to get a P7 a little cheaper though. 

Wow this is some awesome stuff here!  I will address each one as time goes on.

Glen, I see what you are saying. Now will the anthem integrated allow for my Tivo and BD player to connect for cable and movies? This sounds like a sweet option. 

Soix, I have a Monitor Audio 12” Silver Series Sub. I use a Sony BD player for movies right now, soon to be PS4 Slim, and music I have a hard drive with Apple lossless connected to my Netgear Nighthawk router.

Caphill, Great suggestion. I will check this out too and get back to you. 

Auxinput, I’m SO glad you taught me this!

I will dig into the Parasound chat a little more and see what you all are talking about. 

Djones - I don’t have my 2 channel yet. If an integrated amp took the place of my receiver and a preamp, and would still play audio inputs for my movies, then I would go for something like that most likely.
