Searching for a new Pre/Pro Again

I used to have a NAD T753 that was mated to A Bryston 9BST with Paradigm Studio speakers. Recently I sold my NAD and bought a Outlaw 990. To my ear, outlaw separates different channels of sounds much more clean and clear. But the big issue is that the sound is more machine like, very bright, cool, and harsh. I used to enjoy Norah Jones (Comes away with me) very much with the NAD. But now I could not even sit through one single song. I am going to get rid of outlaw soon and thinking of going back to a NAD Pre/Pro. Do I have other alternatives that would not break my bank?
Thanks for all advice.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Bryston sp2 is probably out of my reach at present. I heard reports saying Integra is not smooth for music reproduction.
Just sold the outlaw. Tried Pioneer Elite and do not like the resolution. What other suggestions for a sub $1000 or so processor? I want to buy used.
Appreciate your valuable advice, as always!

"I heard reports saying Integra is not smooth for music reproduction." No. What has been said is that the Integra's analog inputs are inferior to using its digital inputs. So, it boils down to whether you have analog sources or not. In the system where I use(d) the Integra, all my sources are digital and I was very happy with it.

Maybe the emotiva products might serve you well;Check out their website and they have a excellant upgrade plan available.
I am running one of their dmc-1 and it is quite nice; it will support 7 channel and generates 2 sides for 9; also supports 4 subs if you need that many; has balanced outputs as well.
