Which receivers have proper pre-amp output voltage?

[jpolz]

I'm shopping for a new receiver and since it will be used as a pre/pro for my LPA-1 in my main listening room, I wanted to make sure that the pre-amp out voltage is sufficient as to not distort/compress at higher volumes or destroy the speakers. I'm currently looking at the following units:

Onkyo TX-SR705
Onkyo RX-SR805
Sony STR-DA3300ES
Sony STR-DA4300ES
H/K AVR-354

Does one brand or model have higher output voltage capabilities and what is considered proper voltage? Is there any way to tell or am I going to have to take my VOM with me to the store? It doesn't seem to be a spec that is given by any of the manufacturers.

Your LPA-1 has a gain of 29db, so a pre w/ 1 volt output should drive it fine. Usually you can find that spec in the manuals- those sony's have 2v outputs.

I had an HK AVR-235 that worked very good. Also the Onkyo 805 is very popular around here. Good deals can be found on both models.
Happy hunting

I had a good experience with using HK as a pre/pro also.
