Krell or Sunfire Prepro, need advice thank you

Comparing (demos) Krell HTS-1 and Sunfire-TGIII prepros for 50/50 music/HT-5.1 & Mirage speakers.
I haven't been able to audition.

Can anyone please compare the two directly, sonically. I will be using the prepro for all digital processing, CD & DD/DTS.
I am contemplating using the Sunfire Cinema Grand II for 5ch amplification in either case (due to limited space and amp heating issues.)

Also welcome are comments on how relevant are the common complaints - namely, the 2 sec delay (HTS) and signal-to-noise (TG3/CG2) issues. THX

Thanks for all the comments, they were very helpful.

I noticed that the Sunfire receiver appears to have the same prepro built in. How much sonic improvement is there comparing the TG3/CG2 combination vs. the Receiver? Also, does anyone know how long it takes to burn-in these units before they sound good??
