Proceed AVP vs. Sim Attraction vs. Theta Casa Nova


I am replacing my Sunfire TG II and would like your thoughts on the following processors:

Proceed AVP;
Sim Attraction; or
Theta Casa Nova II.

While I will use the preamp/processor primarily for HT, I also would like one that does a good job with two channel. The principal reason I am selling the Sunfire is my dissatisfaction with the quality of the two channel audio in my set up.

The rest of my system is as follows:

Nautilus 805s and the matching center;
REL Storm III sub;
Bryston 9B THX amp; and
Sony DVP-S9000ES DVD player.

I am trying to make a decision as soon as possible, so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I agree with Blummd - if you can't afford to step up to something like the Lexicon MC-12, get a two-channel preamp with HT pass-through to improve your two-channel outlook. A Krell KRC-3 can be had pretty cheap these days and is well regarded for it's analog 2-channel performance. -Kirk
