Krell Home Theater Standard

The Krell does sound very good though. They are offering a few upgrades latter this year. I would recommend both their amp and their processor.

On the other hand, the "old" HTS can be found at truly bargain prices these days. After considering what I'd actually have to pay, list prices aside, the Krell was the best bang for my buck.

Thanks. I'll keep shopping.

The HTS is now replaced with the new HTS which has analog bypass.The AV Standard is the flagship and is now discontinued.As with all Krell pre/pros it has the annoying 2 second delay with cds,will not lock onto digital feed from satellite when you change channels and has a fixed 80hz crossover which is unacceptable for any pre//pro at these prices.Though they are very fine pieces,for he money I can name a # of pre/pros that surpass them.
