lexicon mc-8 or krell hts 7.1??


i'm having a hard time deciding whether to sell my lexicon mc-8 and replace it with a krell hts 7.1. i don't have both on hand to compare. i have 7 channels of krell power to play with and i figured the hts 7.1 would match my amps and would look nice.i listen to a lot of 2ch audio but also like to watch movies. any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have a HTS 7.1. It replaced an Anthem AVM-20. I should say it absolutely blew away the AVM-20! For as much hype as the Anthem gets...and the criticism the Krell gets, you really need to hear the two back-to-back to fully understand how much sound and depth is missing from the AVM-20.

Having said all that, now I have a chance at a MC-12B to possibly replace my HTS 7.1 without too much strain on my wallet. I am sick in the head…I am certain of that now…but I am still agonizing over this decision.

It would be nice to have the MC-12B just under my RT-10 for both music and movies (equal priorities).

Any suggestions anyone?
