I like the sound of the First Sound Presence Deluxe II but would certainly like a remote also - anyone heard a Preamp with remote that sounds AS GOOD as the Presence ?? Sorry but no the BAT VK30se does not sound as good......others?? Under $6000.
Consider Placette either active or passive, though I would suspect you might be inclined to the active ($4.0K). True, not much sex appeal; however, the sound is to be heard-30 day trial availaable.
the cary slp98 bested the rogue 99 *magnum* version in my system, in all areas, imo. there's one on a-gon rite now, the guy's asking $1600. cary can add remote for $500. dunno how it wood stack up to the 1st-sound, tho - i've heard a lot of good tings about that unit. i tink the melos ma-333/music-director wood be up to the task, tho - it's what i'm using now, & it's in another league altogether than the cary or the rogue...
