HELP - I need a cheap pro logic amp & I'm lost -


I've been a 2 channel guy for 30 years so I know very little about this 5 channel stuff. I'd prefer to run my main amp/preamp separately for 2 channel but I'd like to set a 5 channel system for movies and TV playback.

What I (think) I want is a Prologic (Dolby or otherwise) with a built-in amp for the rear and center channels and selectable time delay. I'm on a budget so I'm looking for ideas on used equipment that will fill the bill without sounding like 2 tomatoe cans and a string. I'd like you're recommendations and the benefit of your experience.

Thanks for the help in advance.

If my memory is correct, 3-4 years ago Adcom made several smaller power amps with a Pro-Logic feature built in. I can't remember the model numbers, but a little research ought to surface the info. You could probably get one of these units pretty cheap today.
You might take a lood at the parasound avc 1800,
if you consider $650-800 used to be cheap.
It has been reviewed as bang for the buck.
Fosgate DSL2 is also such the animal you're looking for.It has a built in rear ch amp. Quite the animal of its day/10 years ago.
