Pre Amp/Receiver for Stereo Options

[Stephan37]

Hi Guys!

Would you be willing to recommend a decent (nothing fancy) pre amp/receiver with remote control to be used with active monitors?

Remote control mandatory.
If its depth is not too much that would be helpful as well for wife acceptance reasons...

And if the volume is shown on a display, I consider it cool.

Thanks in advance for helping me out here.

I thought about an AV receiver because it is not an high-end solution - i.e. you can get okish value for money.

Basically all I need is three inputs, no tone controls, no phono etc. and a nice remote to change the volume.

If I can get room correction network connectivity and the like to play around with, why not? But it's not required. I would pay a couple of dollars/euros more, but not too much.

Stereo only is ok, but I think I want a subwoofer for the low end.

Thanks for your time and patience. It is appreciated!
