Classe, Sunfire, or EAD

I'm upgrading to home theater and have been looking for a decent processor to buy. My music is important, and want to get a processor thats good for 2 channel audio as well.

Have been looking at the Sunfire theater grand 2, the Classe ssp 25/30, and the EAD line. These three are all pretty much within the same price range, and dont really want to spend more.

I have to say, that i've been leaning toward the Sunfire. I have seen several reviews stating that the theater grand #1 was very bright, but the newest version (#2) it quite different and warm. I HATE BRIGHT!!!!

I currently have a pair of M/L SL3's for my front channels and intend on getting a M/L cinema for the center. Surrounds and sub will have to come later do to budget. I have three amps that will drive the fronts and center fine.

Would appreciate your input or experience with these three products, or any others in the same price range I should be looking at.

I don't know if I could really help you but my set-up are Martin Logan SL-3 front and Rear with Logos for center. As for subwoofer I am using a Genesis 9000. With these speakers they are power by my EAD PowerMaster 2000 and Meridian 561 for Pre/Pro. As for source I am using a Wadia 8 CD Transport. All connected by Synergistic Research Cable all around and power protected by PS Audio. I personally like my setup very much for music and home theater. I have been changing from equipments to equipments and I am pretty much settle down due to lack of money and very happy with my setup.

If you have any questions about my equipments feel free to contact me. Good Luck finding what suits your ears and have fun.
