I dont feel like there is that much difference with rear speakers that are stereo and mono in surround systems and this Pre amp proves this. Music has such clear highs and lows I don't need a subwoofer except for movies even then there is plenty of bass. In movie modes Dolby the fullness of the explosions make me feel that i just was standing on a land mine and it went off I thought that i was moving. crystal clear noises all around me . I like this Carver.

Clean high end look, great perfomer lots of cool stuff to play with (ie subwoofer volume, subfilters, center channel volume)

None at the 100 dollar price range

I was just looking for a preamp with surround capabilities and seperates because there always superior and fun to play with (like an automatic to stick shift car), not huge into theater, more of a stereo audiophile. but the nad perfomance was very satisifing, I heard everything from high end lexicon to recievers like Denon. I''m happy with this piece going with the Nad 906 six channel amp its hard to beat, both pieces cost me $200 measly dollars, looks great as well nice clean look.
