In Reply to: My comparison may be instructive. posted by BobH on November 04, 1999 at 16:10:07:
Yes, I believe separates are the way to get the best processing. Denon's 5700 is a great unit, but it really lacks the dimensional processing. I am considering the Sony TA-E9000ES processer....fairly well rated in Audio magazine...I believe it was the April issue. There are lots of Lexicon DC 1 units available on Audioshopper cause owners are upgrading to the MC 1. What do you think?
There is a Lexicon dealer here but no Classe. I am ordering the Classe in a couple of months and I could compare then, but I won't have a used DC1 comparison. Some people rave about Lexicon and others pan it badly. Nobody pans Classe. I am just hoping it will work out. Lexicon, in my opinion might be good but the DC2 is really spendy (5K?) The Classe for $3K seems like good quality for medium price. Everything else is $4-5K+. Can't answer your question, really.
The Classe is a good unit. Also consider the EAD TheaterMaster Encore (also $3k) and Theta Casablanca. These are all a distinct step up from the Rotels of the world.
