Cheap AV-amp with 5.1 pre-outs

Guys, Im looking for a cheap AV-amp/receiver with good DTS/DD processing that also has a 5.1 pre-out, so I can use my main stereo amp to power the front speakers and use for normal stereo sounds. Any (and since the bank called I have to state this: CHEAP!!) suggestions?

Satch.

Perhaps look at the harman kardon avr series (320 etc). They have good processing and provide full preouts.

Thanx Efritz, but I managed to found a used (and cheap) Yamaha DSP E-800, which satifies my needs (for the time being ofcourse :)).

I would suggest the Sony 9ES, IMHO blows away the Yamaha

Some Denon recievers have the 5.1 out, some of the older ones are really cheap. I just recieved the AVR-3600 and it will act as a pre-amp.

As Jake says or look for some top of the line units that came out back in 2000.
