Which processor from this group and why.


I am finally geting my first theatre setup together. Have a dedicated 35 foot by 25 foot basement for the room. There is a dedicated 220V/60A line into a Cinepro 120 sequencer and several Cinepro Pro Power 120's for the balanced power. Power amps for LCR are Crown PS-200's in mono (300W). The surround amp is a Crown PS-400 in stereo (190W/ch). All speakers are Klipsch. Corner horns for the mains and LaScala's for the center and surrounds. Subwoofer's are 2 Bag End 18". Its time to get the pre-amp/processor and get the sound system going and get the video going after that. There are 4 processors I am looking at, all in the same basic price/performance range. They are, Sunfire Theatre Grand 3....Anthem AVM20....Aragon stage one...B&K reference 50. I am looking for feedback from anyone who has used any of these pieces. Why you liked it and what you didnt like about it.

I agree with Danielk141. The notch filter in the ref.30 is the best tweek I have found so far.

Hey Buddy, You mentioned that you have a dedicated 220v/60amp cercuit breaker hooked up to a cinepro 120 sequencer and several power pro 120's.. are you connecting two cinepr power balancers in a Y Cable configuration in to two dedicated 120 vac outlets and combining the two power pro balancers into one 220/240 vac outlet for your crown? I'm curiouse to know how you are getting 220v.....Thank you in advance!!
yeah, you're using Klipsch speakers for an HT setup, placed in corners, and presumably center placed along the wall as well. I'd get the audyssey involved, and would look into the Integra 9.8, and similar! Acoustics will be a problem, lots of room boom and frequency distortion. The audyssey should smooth this out. Also, the integra is probabaly a decent pre.
Yeah, I'd definitely stay away from any pre with no EQ circuit. Good luck
