Krell HTS 7.1 for HT, but even more so for 2-channel. This is a great processor and at the price you can buy them for brand new with the full 5 year Krell warranty for less than $3,000 (vs. the $8,500 LP), it is a true bargain.
The HTS 7.1 is not going to smooth things out or roll off the highs (Vayjay, I am NOT saying the Anthem does this FWIW). It will convey the signal without adding much of anything (in direct preamp analog mode) or taking much of anything away from the music. I like the HTS 7.1 because it is the only Pre/Pro that I have listened to that can do a very good job on 2-channel (*I have not listened to the Anthems). By the way, my system would be proclaimed by a lot of people as having a very bright potential - Krell FPB amps and Wilson W/P speakers with a GNSC modded Opus 21. I can say my system does NOT make anything bright sounding, but a bad recording can be bright if that is in the recording - my system will not roll that bad recording off.
