Best Pre-Pro especially considering 2 channel

analog sound: I'm thinking of the Krell Showcase, B&K Ref50, Sunfire Theater Grand III and if they are worth it the Krell HTS 7.1 or new Lexicon MC-8. I feel any of them would be excellent with HT but my concern is with high end sounding 2 channel analog. Is there a big difference between the Krell HTS and showcases analog section? Any comments and suggestions are appreciated and welcome.
Thank you.

If you don't care for video switching,Add the Bryston SP1.7
to your list,2Ch audio is Excellent.I audition the REF 50 and Sunfire MK III .I also had as Loaner's from my dealer The Krell Hts 7.1 and The Lexicon MC 12.I preferred the Bryston over the above mentioned.Also saved quite a bit of money.

The Aragon Soundstage, sells for $1400 used, is an excellent two-channel performer, with analog bypass.

Don't leave out Classe' in your search. I have the SSP25 with analog bypass. Great performer as a processor and excellent two channel with the analog bypass. Anthem also has analog bypass and has received excellent reviews.

Best of luck...
