Lexicon MC-1, Classe SSP-50 or Krell HTS

I looking to purchase used, so anything around 2000 used is what I am budgeting. Music is important. All three of these processors retail for 6000 new.

Please don't focus on the price of these three processors that I have mentioned, I am able to find all three of them for around 2,000. So if you had the choice which one would you pick? I know very little about these three and would like your feedback on not only their HT performance but their two channel Musical performance as well.

Hi,Mat. You must have gotten/ seen the better prices elsewhere. I have a CAT3 so 2ch. is of no importance to me. As in we all have different needs.

Argent; Those Integra's don't come up used, to often. The last one I remember seeing was in my early stages of looking. --Say about 4 weeks ago. Like the least expensive processor to get AAA rating at SGHT. This does impress me.-- But, because we each have different priorities ,it makes things more complicated.

If you like your Classe amplification, I suggest you give the Classe processor a serious look. If you can find the SSP50 for $2k, you've found a real steal. The HTS will be closer to $3k. The Classe SSP30 might be worth a look, at around $2k used. Good luck.

If you are sold on one of these three processors because of the price, I would have to recommend them in this order: Krell, Classe, and Lexicon last. One other processor you might try, as it is used for around $2700 is the Bryston SP-1. Arguably one of the best for 2ch music. Good luck.
