At present I am running my Home Theater set up with an Outlaw 770 amp and a Marantz sr5005 used as a pre-amp (purchased from Outlaw). I am thinking of upgrading my pre-amp to either the Outlaw 976 or the Marantz SR5015 receiver (to use as a pre-amp). I have a 7.2 system and have no intention of doing an overhead atmos set up.

The Marantz is a bit more money but which is a better fit.
