Or go with the B&K Ref 50 and save some dough from either alternative. Don't buy B&K amps though...
Krell Showcase vs. Anthem AV20
Has anyone been able to directly compare the two. I have a Krell HTS and plan on making a change. The showcase seems very similar to the HTS, but with more features, particulary the room eq., DP II and video switching. The anthem, on the other hand,is software & hardware upgradeable (krell only software). Is this a real value? The anthem also has a tuner and is multi-zone (no present need).
I have not been able to compare the two directly. The Krell had a better overall set-up in the store, and sounded quite good in my brief listening. The anthem had an inferior location and speaker set-up. I don't really have an opinion yet. Does the anthem handle bright material well (2 channel) or is it fatiguing? Similarly, does it adequately handle bass?
I am planning on going back for a more involved listening, but would like to hear if anyone has done a similar comparison of these two pieces.
