Best A/V / Stereo Processor


I am interested in music and DVD movies, and need to decide on a high-end processor which will excel at both. My choices are limited by budget to either the Parasound AVC-2500 or EAD Ovation, with perhaps a Lexicon DC2 there aswell. Which of these processors is the best, overall? Or indeed, would another processor be better? Many thanks for any advice/opinions.

The ovation simply sings with both DVD and stereo sources. It is also beautiful in either finish. I was not as impressed by the parasound. The lexicon is a good deal, but no 24/96 capability. You might look at theta casa nova as well (it is modular like the EAD, so you don't have to spend all your money up front)

Why don't you look at a Used DC-1 with all the bells and whistles. You can get one from a dealer with the new EX-software upgrade for $1500.00-$1700.00. Lexicon ran an excellent trade-in (3,500 buck I think) for anyone wanting to upgrade to a MC-1. The DC-1 was a $5000.00 piece of Equipment.
