Comparison between high end preamp and av processor?

I have mcintosh mx122 processor and a separate mcintosh pre amp. There is a switch I hit that lets the HT pass through and use the pre amp and amps for the mains. There is no telling any difference whatsoever

Same here Mac gear works well together. I'm using a C2500, and a MX150 (no upgrade, you loose the GOOD tone control) MX151.

Like I said on the other thread, you have to have good cabling between the two.. If you play through on a Mac to a Mac, you still hear a difference. Is it bad? NO! Not as good though.

It plays through either or neither. Mac is nice that way...

I just like stereo, always have.. I like some of the 3 speaker stuff, MY stuff.. Usually the 3rd speaker in the middle is way to small for one thing it actually need to be as GOOD as the mains or BETTER...  That center speaker when voiced correctly, can really make a wonderful sounding system.. It takes a couple of weeks to get use to it.. And tune it in..

Trinaural processor, is pretty cool.. I just like Macs better...

No problem.   
Just run seperately.
OK, it’s a secret.
Of course you can go down on BrokeBack Mountain.
Don't bother enjoying multichannel SACD's.
