Surround Sound Processor Suggestions


My Classe' SSP-75 has been giving me problems, intermittently shutting off my sub and R channel, and Im debating if I want to ship it to Canada to have it looked at for the $$ it would cost me. I think im done with Classe' since this is the 2nd component to give me trouble. Im looking to go with a different brand and would appreciate your input. I listen 70% 2-channel, 30% surround. I would like a processor that retains similar performance, balanced inputs ect., with better reliability. I will probably have to purchase used again considering my income. Thanks in advance.

Michael Fremer from Stereophile did a review on the Matantz seperates, he loved them. About 5k new for the pair. I'm sure that dealers are discounting at about 30%.
I owned the Theta Casanova and now own a Theta Casablanca II. In my experience I've found Theta equipment to be very reliable. The 2-channel analog on the Casablanca is better than anything I've ever owned, and the surround for HT is outstanding.
