Yada:
My guess is that the sonics of the EAD Theatermaster 8800 pro would be preferable to the Lexicon in light of your tastes and equipment. While I protect my 2 channel path entirely from running through a Pre/Pro....I can honestly say that EAD is the first Pre/Pro i've heard that has led me to consider simplifiying my setup by allowing my 2 channel path through it. Incidentally, I've had both Lexicon and EAD and find the sonics of EAD FAR superior. Several audiophiles that I respect have agreed with this.
Regards,
Harry
