Which Processor?

I am considering the Krell Foundation or the Marantz AV8802 which will be used with one of Krell's new ibas amps. My speakers are B&W 802's and a B&W center channel. There are two other small speakers to the rear but these will be powered by another amp and are not a concern. The question is: Is the Krell Foundation worth almost twice the cost of the Marantz. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Look at the Classe Sigma SSP. Easy to set up and very high performance. See Sterophile review if interested.

I own a Foundation and find that it provides true high end sound quality used with the Chorus 5200 amp. You won't be disappointed. The Classe units are good too.

frankly if you are going to use a Krell Chorus amp the Foundation is the logical choice. I have the combination and find it outstanding. I never think about what else I should have considered.
