NEW Pre Amp Processor - Narrowing down the list

I am hoping that the non-response to my earlier request was due to my lame subject title, so I am trying again. I would really like your opinions. I am getting very close to closing a deal on the EAD.
I am looking to upgrade the pre amp processor. Here's what I have them narrowed down to:

Krell HTS
Accuphase CX 260
Classe SSP 75
Anthem AVM 20
EAD Theatremaster 8000

I have a Classe CA300 amp driving Innersound ISIS. I have a multichannel amp driving the center and surrounds. I don't even want to get into what those are, because you guys would start tearing up that part of the chain and I don't have the money to worry about the rest of it yet. I am looking to spend between $3K-$4K.
I am mostly interested in the 2CH sound and not so much all the snazzy features for HT craziness. I love details and mid range - very warm musical sounds. If anyone has "ears-on" experience with any of these three, I would love to hear your opinions.

Thanks in advance,
-Angela

Angela,
I have a Lexicon MC1 and an EAD Signature processor. The MC1 is really good for movies but the EAD is much better for music. I recently had the EAD upgraded from a LCD to a blue VFD display that your unit will have. EAD's customer service is excellent. I think you'll like the EAD.
Enjoy your new toy.

Angela,
Yes, I live in San Fran but not related to SF Stereo, the high end shop. Let us know the EAD is.
