hi.. i have owned both... the HTS 7.1 hands down.. had the TAS amp and all cardas Golden reference PC and spk cables with wilson spks... yes.. the HTS made a very noticeable wow! difference.. at least to me..... good luck..
Krell HTS 7.1 vs. Showcase
I'm looking to combine my HT and stereo due to space... so I need a pre/pro that can really play music. I already have a Krell amp that is fantastic, so the natural choice would be a Krell pre/pro. The question is... is there really a difference between the two? Videoswitching is not important at all.. never use it.
