Ed?

Cinenova grand 3 is 3.5k new. So I am assuming you mean 2 channels of this is what you will use with Rm40. If I am wrong and you are getting 2 amps each with 3 mono-aural channels, each weighing 120lb (ouch!)for less than the cost of one 770, give me john's number.

I think you are going to have to run this with a tube pre and not an ss pre.
