Lexicon RV8 vs McIntosh MHT200: best for 2 chnl?


Have N803/HTM1/DS7 setup with Pioneer vsx49tx. Want to improve overall sound quality, especially in 2 channel. I'm also considering separates, but that's a "separates" discussion (pun intended). Between these two, what's your opinion regarding SQ? I don't care about HDMI, video switching (I go direct into tv) or any new codecs or whatever you call them. I just want great sound from redbook CDs, some SACD/DVDA, and good old DD and DTS movies. Appreciate any opinions to help me decide. Thanks...Jeff

Haven't heard the Lexicon but the Mac sounds great. I own a MHT100 with a MC252 for the fronts in my HT. I feel the MHT's are hidden gems in the HT & Mac world. Also the movies sound 'excellent' without any grit or harshness. You will not feel like turning down the volume if only except not to disturb your neighbors!

Also you will be pleased to know someday if you go seperates you will have "Real pre-outs" on the MHT200 same as their 2 channels pre's & not the usual you find on most receivers. Good luck!
