The only difference between the HTS1 and the HTS 2 is an analog bypass on the HTS2 and a different On Screen Display. You cannot upgrade the HTS1 or HTS2 to the 7.1... they give you a replacement. The 2 channel will be identical on the 1 and the 2... namely, its not that great but for movies it is pretty good. I own an HTS1 and in hindsight, wish I had bought a different unit (Tag, Proceed, Integra).
Difference between Krell HTS 1 & HTS 2
What exactly was wrong the original HTS 1? How did they fix it in the HTS 2? Does Krell offer an upgrade from a HTS 1 to HTS 2. I see on Krell's website they offer an upgrade from a HTS 2 to 7.1 for $1500. I just bought a HTS 1 (not even knowing about a HTS 2) cause I'm not interested in 7.1. Now I'm reading about lousy 2 channel sound in the HTS 1. Did I make a big mistake.
This is my first piece of what I would consider "high end" gear. So far it sounds good to me, but this is the beginning my system not the end and I feel my current equipment will not tell the whole story. Thanks in advance!
