Proceed AVP vs Denon AVP-A1HDCI & Krell S-1000

Hey guys. I have a Proceed AVP pro which is about 15 years old, Sunfire TGA-7200 amp, Monitor Audio Platinum Speakers, Audiolab 8000T tuner & other high end gear.
The Platinum PL-300 mains are driven in Bi-amp.
I would like to know if the Denon AVP-A1HDCI & Krell S-1000 will beat the proceed in sound quality.I know that the two are tough & newer. New features require HDMI.I don't care about extra features. I mainly care about top quality sound.
I compared the Proceed with other good brands such as Sunfire pro & Anthem. But the Proceed was more refined, detailed & tighter & more controlled bass. So I am focusing on the Denon & Krell & which one of them will make my speakers sing better.

The Proceed is considered a little "hot" compared to other high end brands . The Anthem is great but lacks the airiness that you get from tough brands. While the Sunfire was musical but lacked the Proceed's low end refinement & tightness. It was a little loose sometimes & over exaggerated at other times. I couldn't get it right to my taste & I will definitely love it if I didn't have the Proceed.

I am an installer so I don't really care much about the Audyssey system while it's a plus point. I care about well refined sound with tight bass.

I am sure that the Denon is so good in features " a true Swiss army knife " but I am afraid that I might get disappointed with the bass tightness.
