Deal Details
Marantz AV8805A AV Pre-Amplifier - 13.2 Channel on clearance at Amazon & Bestbuy. Excellent pre-amp for the audiophiles. You need to pair it with a good amp. A couple of good amp choices are : Monolith 7x, Outlaw Model 7000X & Hypex NC502MP 8-Channel.
Note this does not have Dirac Live capabilities. Also it can only Bi-amp front speakers. You are out of luck if you want to bi-amp your center, surround or any other speaker. The only way to do that will be to use the RCA. However there is no set configuration in the menu.

If I was further along on my barcade, I'd be picking this up.

Only if you have a dedicated home theater room that is big enough to support additional surround speakers …

Oooo baby. This thing is awesome. You could really build a great theater with this as the lynchpin.

FYI Amazon just PM'd BB, they've had this for this price for awhile.

This is great IF you need 13 channels & Marantz.
If not there are better newer options imo.

Great price but my current Marantz pre-pro going strong so I can't justify.

Took a while but sold out now. Guess not many people would spend so much for something like this.
