H.T. Processor witch is better in sound...

Cary does not use ARC (all caps) which is an Anthem trademark. It does have some proprietary room correction about which there is little enthusiasm.

In that price range, you might also look at the Krell Foundation.

Dbphd: Are you sure Anthem has a trademark on ARC?

No, I was sort of kidding as ARC is used to mean many things including Anthem Room Correction, Audio Rate Control, Audio Return Channel, Automatic Room Correction, Atlantic Richfield Company and many others. However, in your post, it would not be possible to know what you meant because either Automatic Room Correction or Anthem Room Correction would be equally in context.

Girish listed only older/discontinued processors and says he has used few processors in the last many years. However, in recent years, there has been a flowering of new ones and, although he thinks that "Krell sounds very cod!," there's nothing fishy about the newest one.

Yes, I know but I could not resist the pun. I will not comment any further on the sound of the new Krell since I will be reviewing it shortly but video switching is, I agree, not that important for music listeners. However, there are other audio-related enhancements that have come along more recently than the demise of Proceed or EAD.
