Someone told me the Krell was very good. I am not sure which model, but I believe the Showcase is about $4K. I still think a 2 channel preamp looped into a processor for movies is the way to go, but I have been debating the McCormack MAP preamp which has two 6 channel analog inputs. They even have a surround type system that you could use with stereo or mono sources for TV. Just get a do it all DVD player for DVD Audio and SACD and use them to decode DD and DTS. It is another way to try to acopmplish HT and keep good 2 channel and SACD sound. I have not auditioned one and don't know if I want to spend that much, but some others may have tried it.
