In terms of sonic surround (EX) as well as two channel playback. Any advice would be helpful for me to choose my next pre/pro? Thanks

You're comparing a US$2800 pre/pro vs. a $6000 pre/pro for starters so let's see how they stack up.
THX Ultra Cert, and Surround EX Capability: Draw
Variable Crossovers for all channels: Lexicon
Component Video Switching: B&K
External 5.1 Input for DVD-A/SACD: B&K
Ridiculous number of DSP effects you
probably won't use anyway: Lexicon
Analog bypass: B&K
Equalization to remove room nodes: B&K
As you can see, the serious advantage points go to B&K.
If you really have the budget for the MC-1, other options worth
serious consideration are the Integra Research RDC-7, and the
upcoming EAD Theatermaster Ovation Mk II.
- Thanks for your comments. I'll send you email for additional questions. (nt) TomP 10:55:25 12/23/00 (0)
