Classe, Sunfire, or EAD

I'm upgrading to home theater and have been looking for a decent processor to buy. My music is important, and want to get a processor thats good for 2 channel audio as well.

Have been looking at the Sunfire theater grand 2, the Classe ssp 25/30, and the EAD line. These three are all pretty much within the same price range, and dont really want to spend more.

I have to say, that i've been leaning toward the Sunfire. I have seen several reviews stating that the theater grand #1 was very bright, but the newest version (#2) it quite different and warm. I HATE BRIGHT!!!!

I currently have a pair of M/L SL3's for my front channels and intend on getting a M/L cinema for the center. Surrounds and sub will have to come later do to budget. I have three amps that will drive the fronts and center fine.

Would appreciate your input or experience with these three products, or any others in the same price range I should be looking at.
