Preamp to Run Revel F52s & C52s

Hi everyone. I posted this ? in the Home theater section also. Sound improvement in 2 channel is a major factor in my thoughts of upgrading and I would like as much input as I can get. I currently power my Revels with an Emotiva xpa-5 and use my Onkyo TX-NR801 as my pre-pro. I want whatever I buy to serve double duty as a home theater and 2 channel music unit. Anybody have any suggestions what would serve my Revels well?

Thanks Theo, I have to admit complete ignorance to the ever changing electronics world. How does the theater by-passs work? Wiring etc.... Would like to keep budget around $1500

Theater pass thru is a circuit the takes the 2 front channels out of the pre-pro and directs them to the amp.This allows you to have a stereo pre amp and have your 2 channel sources utilize a 2 channel sytem. In my case I have a 2 channel amp so 5 can turn off the other multi channle amp and pre-pro. This leaves me with a 2 channel system for cd, tuner,vinyl etc. All I do is select "proc" and the unity gain allows the pre-pro to drive the volume for all channels including the two fronts. Flip it to CD and the 2 channel pre amp runs the volume. At 1500 you can look here on AG and find some real good buys.
