Classe SSP 60 vs. Krell HTS 7.1

i'm considering these also. what did you decide?

The Classe 60 is good. The Krell 7.1(sold both) stomps it in terms of ultimate transparency and dynamics! Also, the Krell is extremely low in noise level (sig to noise), and just plain the best sounding digital AV pre-pro made IMO!..and I've sold both lines yes.
I'd stick with the Krell if you can. The 60 will sound very high end, and have a warmer character slightly, and be better than most. But it won't upstage the Krell in this case. And that's the straight truth indeed.
