I have an EAD Signature, which is definitely one of the most natural sounding with dialog, and the easy setup with the microphone that is included sets phase, speaker distances (delay) and volume levels. Plus it stores multiple system setups (store/recall feature), Movies use a sub in my system, CD uses the left/right full range without a sub (you could use it with a sub). The sub crossover is adjustable and down to 50hz! but only one sub out on the older version. The other really key item is each speaker can be crossed over to the sub and/or rolled off (big/small)... ultimate in flexiblity, so many do not let you set these items. The EAD uses Vishay resisters and they do make physical noise periodically when ramping up volume but not big deal since the resulting quality from this design is outstanding! This is truely a very musical preamp.
Krell/Classe have always enhanced the harshness of soundtracks in my opinion.
Lexicon has always done a good job of doing multichannel music! The EAD just beat it in 2-channel mode and that is what was important to me when I had only one system for two functions.
