I was looking at the Emotiva website. I was wondering what is the difference between the processor, pre amp, and amplifier?

A processor and pre/amp are the same thing and Emotiva only sells one of them. What it does is takes the input signal and decodes and outputs information to an amplifier through RCA outputs. It also takes the video signal and sends that to the display device.

The amplifier takes the analog audio information from the processor and provides the power to the speakers. It has no decoding capabilities, it is merely a means to amplify the speaker power since the processor does not provide amplification. The different amplifiers have different types of amplification A/B or D and varying levels of sheilding and power output.
