Maguiar, if sound quality for surround sound and music is your passion and you are concerend with the sound quality of the processor preamp then here is how to get around that one
1: Purchase a good 2 channel preamplifier with a hone theather bypass function, you can then route your high end 2 channel sources through the 2 channel preamp and then to your high end multi channel amplfier.
This way you have a separate 2 channel music pathway that is intergrated with your surround sound gear, and you get the best of both worlds.
We are using our Maestro with $14k Kef Ref 3, a Lumin music streamer and the sound for music even through the Maestro is is really something.
