Audyssey powered components

I'm kicking around the idea of replacing my (ARC LS 25) preamp with a pre-pro so that I can use full range Audyssey room correction (gasp!). Two channels, with subs, audio only. Balanced out would be necessary and any advanced decoding/video capabilities would be welcome but not a particular priority.

I've thought about the stand alone Audyssey box, but prefer the convenience of a single component.

For such an application, anyone have suggestion for:

1) Best choice when cost is not relevant
2) Best choice for +/- $2500

Thanks in advance

Hi Marty,
I have the Marantz AV8003 . I have used the Audessy Multi EQ. It gave me pretty good results and did allow further tweaking after that. I have not used it with the two channel set-up feature, but it did a great job in 5 channel. The piece is about 2600 retail but I think it could be had for around 2k from an authorized dealer.

Hi Kal,
Would the UD 8004 decode the HDcodecs ? If so then would it already be done??? I hope so I was looking to get the UD8004 soon
