@loomisjohnson - he is having a gain level problem when using his AVR for a normal 2-channel analog preamp. An outboard external amplifier would not really help him. And it would be better just to get an intregrated for 2-channel preamp/amp and use that as HT Bypass when he wants to watch movies.

The Hegel is definitely a high resolution conventional Class AB "neutral" sound design. Or you could look at something like Krell Digital Vangaurd integrated for a more creamy/liquid "Class A" sound. These are very nice as well, but it really depends what kind of sound you're looking for.
