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,

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?
Depends. How's the bass/level/distance control in the player? How's your room acoustics?

The replacement for the 9.9 will be shipping in a matter of weeks. There may be bargains on the 9.9 and its sibling, the Onkyo 886, when that happens.

Or you can get the equivalent Integra 80.1 which, I understand, is now shipping.
