Both are near the top of the heap, but, I preferred the Bryston SP1.7 in a head-to-head shootout for 2-channel. Though, that was just my preference, yours may vary.
Those two preamps you mentioned are outstanding. I have never had them in home for a demo. Nonethless, I cant see how any Processor could top them for 2 channel.
