Krell HTS 7.1 vs. Showcase

I use the HTS7.1 with three krell amps (fpb 350Ms for the two fronts) and a Krell KSA 150 stereo amp to drive the sub and center. The HTS7.1 has worked really well and provides a lot of adjustment options, etc. It had to go in to Krell once (the left channel had gone dead) but they gave me good turn-around time and downloaded the latest software, all on warranty. It works great now and I am very pleased with it. BTW, the fronts are Maggie 20.1s and the center is a Maggie CC-3.

Audiojan: Thanks, yes, it sounds great (to me). I agree with Dbld that Krell makes an excellent product. Further, I have had good experiences with the service department. Perhaps a bit slow but the results are there. FWIW, I chose Krell all around, Maggies all around and Cobalt Cables all around because I think there is a synergy between like brand products that may be more difficult to obtain with components from all over the spectrum. It's off the HTS7.1 subject line here, but now I am looking for a reasonably priced set of Power Cables to replace the originals on the Krells and Pre/Pro. Again, if a suitable replacement is found, they will all be from the same manufacturer.

Audiojan: With all the other excellent equipment that you have put together, it would seem a shame not to get the HTS7.1. Eat noodles for awhile, you'll be glad you did. Food only lasts in your system for a day or so. The pre/pro is forever (at least a short term forever).
