I have seen only 1 preamp...the Emotiva with HT style (derived?) bass management.
What are some other contenders with this feature?
The NAD integrated has such a feature, but I'm not needing an amp at this time. I have seen references to some HT pre/pros having '2 ch mode'....but this sounds real expensive for just a 2.1 system.
Not sure what you're looking for but the Outlaw pre amp/processors are fine for two channel work and they include fairly extensive bass management. I just got an email saying they 970 and 990 pre amps are reduced two hundred dollars through the sixth of the month.
Just testing the waters to see who makes a regular stereo preamp with the addition of HT style bass management output.....just another RCA from 80 or 100hz down.....to go to a sub.
The outlaw rr2150 receiver has dual preouts and the bass control. Pioneer and HK also on their units. I know they ain't preamps, but perform the task you mention, Leo.
