Theta v.s. Sim Audio


I have the Magnepan home theatre setup consisting of 3.6 mains, MGCC2 center, and MMG12 rears, and 2 Velodyne HGS-12 subs. I am considering the Theta Cassablanca/Dreadnaught which I've auditioned or the Sim Audio Attraction/Stellar/Titan. Has anyone heard both of these setups? I've yet to hear any HT amp more musical than the Theta but with all of the favorable reviews of the Sim Audio HT products I simply cannot ignore it. Thanks.

I cannot afford nor am I interested in Meridian or anything in that price range.

Hello...First, I am a dealer for Simaudio.

These are both excellent choices and you really can't go wrong with either one for THEATER applications.

However, if your system will be used for HT AND 2-chan listening, my choice would ABSOLUTELY be Simaudio. Simaudio has essentially taken all of their 2-chan products and used them as a base design for their theater products.

For example, the Titan is basically a multi-channel W5 (because of the larger power supply, the Titan actually sounds better to my ears than the W5). The Attraction is a theater processor with P5 analog stages.
