Best Analog pass-through on DSP Theater Pre/Pros?`


Hey All,

I am still agonizing about the pre/pro & amp combo for a combined HT/2 Ch. setup. I have the speakers locked down with a pair of JM Labs Cobalt 826s with the matching Center and Cobalt 806 rears.

I really enjoyed auditioning these speakers on decent quality equipment (I'm still using my Denon 5800). I want to buy seperates that will make the Cobalts sing when I listen to 2ch. I know that the Bryston SP1, the Classe SSP75, and B&K Ref 50 all have analog passthrough....who else in the same $ ballpark (used from Audiogon, of course!) am I not listing? Not sure exactly what amps I am going with yet, but may go tubes for the mains, and some 3ch for center/surounds.

Thanks,
Z

The sunfire theatergrand II or III would be worth checking out, mine is very good at everything. Aragon would be worth checking out also.
The Aragon Soundstage has an excellent analog pass-through you may want to check it out.
The Aragon stuff looks nice...especially the Stage 1. Is this the "next generation" soundstage? The only thing I can't ascertain from the product manual is weather or not these units have balanced inputs...

Bummer that there don't seem to be any dealers in the LA Basin (according to the dealer locator on the Klipcsh site anyway)
So after showing my wife both units online, she has agreed to either of these units (so long as I don't actually go after the PASS Aleph 5 I showed her...she said it looks like the monolith from 2001) I am definitly going to buy used here. Has anyone tried both units and picked one over the other?
