Have you considered the Krell Showcase. It does have 7.1 and retail is $4,000. You can find it for $3,000 or less if you look hard enough. I owned the Lexicon DC-1 before buying the Krell. I agree with you about the Lexicon. I have been very pleased with the Krell, particularly on multi-channel SACD and dvd's.
Need Input and Advise on Pre/Pro Please?
I have pretty much narrowed my selection down to the below models. I am however still open to suggestions. Any input regarding these and other models would be greatly appreciated. I am 60/40, music over HT and my budget is 1500.00. 7.1 capability a must. Thank you very much for your response and advice.
Classe SSP30
Act 3 Upgraded to Stage One
Krell HTS ruled out because no 7.1 unless you pay megabucks
Proceed AVP ruled out because brand being discontinued and have concerns over getting repairs done if necessary.
Lexicon DC1 ruled out as I have owned this unit and not satisfied with 2 channel performance.
