Preamp recommendation

Are there any modern multichannel (5-7ch) preamps on the market currently? Something along the lines of parasound P7 and Mcintosh C45 (both discontinued) Need this for home theater and 2 channel playback. Any recommendations?

This would be the next step up which would give you excellent resolution without being bright/harsh like the Anthem or Monolith. It would not be warm with soft/rolled off highs like the Parasound.
