I have looked into this, too, and three choices that keep coming up are:
EAD Theatermaster 8800 Pro
Krell HTS 7.1
Theta Casablanca III
I really love the sound of Theta gear, but that darn Casablanca III is just far too complex for my desires. If they ever do update the Casanova, that would be another issue. But, as it stands, I'm still trying to decide between the EAD and the Krell. I am not in a huge hurry, though, as my current Rotel RSP-1066 doesn't seem to get in the way (I am using the analog multi-channel input pass through).
