Audyssey MultEQ XT-32(with Sub EQ) - I must admit I don't know what that is. What is that? I have a separate preamp with HT bypass for 2-channel, so I'm just looking for a processor to do HT. My room will need correction, but I don't know the terminology. Thanks all and happy holidays. -Dave
marantz 8801 vs. nad T175HD
Looking for a new HT processor. I have an emotiva umc1 and it's very glitchy. I get loud, annoying chirps all the time. Sent it back, they replaced the power supply, but it still does it. I think I'm fed up with emotiva. I haven't been on this site in many years so I'm way out of date on the products and just scanning through the used listings, these are two that are available that are vaguely within budget. I would love to get a decent processor for $500 (which was how much the emotiva cost brand new) but don't see anything. The marantz and nad are listed used for a little under a grand. Any thoughts on these two? Thanks in advance. Happy holidays. -Dave
