Best Pre-Pro especially considering 2 channel

analog sound: I'm thinking of the Krell Showcase, B&K Ref50, Sunfire Theater Grand III and if they are worth it the Krell HTS 7.1 or new Lexicon MC-8. I feel any of them would be excellent with HT but my concern is with high end sounding 2 channel analog. Is there a big difference between the Krell HTS and showcases analog section? Any comments and suggestions are appreciated and welcome.
Thank you.

The Aragon Soundstage, sells for $1400 used, is an excellent two-channel performer, with analog bypass.

Don't leave out Classe' in your search. I have the SSP25 with analog bypass. Great performer as a processor and excellent two channel with the analog bypass. Anthem also has analog bypass and has received excellent reviews.

Best of luck...

Integra Research RDC-7, MSRP $4500, all the major magazines raved about it. I am very happy with the way mine sounds with 2 channel music, both as a processor and a Pre-Amp w/2 ch. bypass.
