What is the difference. I’ve seen people talk about amps and pre amps and processors and I’m confused.
I’ve only ever used a receiver before.
a preamp is 2ch only.
an avp is 5+ channel providing processing for surround sound. they typically can be used as a preamp using 2ch selection.
i use mine as a preamp only as its a very nice unit, sounds better than my other pre and avr, and i didnt want 5 amps(long story). i also have a 7.2 avr for home theater.
Nice!
I’m going to be running a home theater.
I’ve always just had a single receiver. But now that I’m looking at buying some super expensive (relative to my personal level of financial capability). So I’m trying to contemplate upgrading maybe beyond a single receiver. Maybe a receiver and amp. Or processors and amps. Not sure yet, but these definitions are helpful so I know what I am looking at.
