Any slim line AV pre amps???

Can anyone suggests any slim AV amps? Pre only is OK...
I have a marantz SR7005.. Pretty good it is too. But physically big/tall

Thinking I would like to use a stereo pre/power with AV pass through, to tidy the rack up a slim line AV would be far better.

Used is ok, budget is open

What's funny is that my slimline AVR is a Marantz one

Marantz NR1403 to be precise. Does the job perfectly.

Yep the only one I could think of.
Question is would one of those plus external power amps provide a better performance than my current one large box version ?

That slim line marantz only has FL/FR + Sub pre outs so you'd have to use it's own in built amp channels for the rest.
