I guess what I don't understand is why a good quality pre/pro is so much more expensive than an AVR. I simply want the AVR without the amps. This should be cheaper, not more expensive. I mean a lovesteat is ususlly cheaper than the full sofa!

I really wasn't interested in the Emo, for many of the reasons stated here. It is too new and not many 3rd paty unbiased reviews on it.

I can get he Denon 990 at Futureshop for $1099 plus taxes, it has the necessary pre-outs I am looking for. Where can I find a 3311 in Canada as BB and FS don't carry them.

Thanks

Paul
