Suggestions 4 surround processor w/newest formats.


Hi all,
I'm looking at finally upgrading my ol' reliable surround processor (Legacy-Audio NexStep) to something with all the new HD-Audio formats. Any suggestions as to which way to go?
Have been internet searching Krell, Lexicon, Parasound, Halcro etc.
Some of my associated equipment...
Amplification: Legacy-Audio monoblocs.
Speakers: Infinity Prelude MTS.
Digital: Marantz BD-8002.
Any other info about my system that would help with suggestions please let me know.

Thanks all @ A-gon,

That Integra looks pretty nice and has what I'm looking for.
Macdadtexas, what would be the model I'm looking for on the Anthem?
Thanks for the reply you's guys. Keep it coming and I'll start doing some reasearch and let you know which way we're going.
A-gon's the greatest!!!
Hey Buconer,
That Integra looks like a receiver. I have Monobloc amps. Can I use it as a processor only? Already have all the amplification I need, and then some.

Still haven't decided fellas.

Have been reading up and it sounds like the Marantz does al the new format decoding itself. Might just end up letting it do it's job and bypass the whole processor gig.
What say you's?
