If you had 1500 to 2000$ to spend

And sound quality (two channels and multichannels) your primary concern.

Would you rather buy...

1-A used high end processor ( krell hts 7.1, classe ssp-300 or other similar high end processor)

2-or a brand new low end with all the bells and whistle processor?

I really mean processor, not receiver.

3-If you had 2000$ would you do the same thing?

p.s. There is not enough money to buy a high end 2 channels preamp + a processor, or receiver

I almost always go for the used piece. It's the same story of quality vs quantity. Even a slightly older unit with last generation DACs will sound better than higher resolution DACs that are not as good.
Personally, I lean towards Anthem and Sunfire.
Keep in mind that you should not go too old. You will most likely be sacrificing HDMI connections. Component video is quite good, just make sure that's sufficient.
