It depends on how much you use the system for movies vs. music. If your usage favors movies, the MC-1 is plain awesome, especially if you set up the 7.1 speaker configuration. The Classe has the reputation for some of the best 2-channel music support in the pre/pro area, so if music is your primary concern, you should dig deeper on that one. I, personally, would stay away from the Krell - I love their amps, but not their HT processors. I had the MC-1 until I upgraded to the MC-12 and loved it for both music and movies. I've never heard the Classe, just read the reviews. -Kirk
Krell HTS, Classe SSP-50, or Lexicon MC-1
I am looking to purchase a used processor for around 2000, my research has led me to these 3 processors, which are all good choices, I am just asking the experts which they like better. My current set up is the Sony Progressive Scan DVD player, Revel Front speakers, B&W front and surround speakers powered by 2 Classe 150, and a Classe CAV-150. Thanks for all your insight!
