Thus, is an AVR with XT-32 run as a pre/pro as good as an actual pre/pro given the similar options and cost of the units?

Thanks


I don't know the answer to that. Of course, you'll get people who claim to hear sound differences based on how much techflex is used on their input cables. smile

Personally, I like the idea of using an AVR to drive the center and surrounds while using pre-outs to a big honking external amp to drive the mains.

Best,
