Sunfire Theater Gand II vs. B&K Ref. 30?

Any thoughts on quality of the sound in both theater and music modes of these two pre/pro's? I know of the basic differences between the two (7.1 vs 5.1 etc.) but which would be better in overall quality. I have not had a chance to hear either of them. My current system consists of Adcom amps & Martin Logan speakers across the front. Looking to upgrade pre/pro from an older Adcom.

Thanks for any input,

Jeff

I have been living with the B&K ref30 for the past 6-7 months and I think it is great. I use it with the B&K 7270 amp and Soliliquy speakers. My ref30 came with the older ver 2.05 software/hardware and the company immediately sent the a new ver 2.08 replacement (n/c). Once everything is set up correctly it is a breeze to use. Even my wife (a 100% technophobe)can use it. One complaint is that the input connectors on the unit are extremely snug making interconnections a bit of a "challenge".

I am not familiar with the Sunfire so I can not offer you a comparison between the two.

Hope you find my input useful. Enjoy, Ken
