In Reply to: Krell HTS owners.. posted by beever on January 17, 2002 at 16:07:03:
Well, my Krell sounds great, no complaints in any area. If I get a SACD or DVD-A multichannel, then I would need the multichannel analog input. Other than that reason, why would anybody get an upgrade? To get more DSP processing and to need more speakers and yet another amplifier? I still need to be convinced that more channels is better. At this point, in my view, the jury is still out in wheather surround channel is beter than stereo. And if that is the case, that 7.1 is better than 5.1. How much 7.1 software is out anyway. If Krell claim that upgrading the HTS2 is easy (that what they told me when I bought mine) why not allowing dealers to do it locally? The upgrade is going to take more than 4 weeks, including shipping time. How many movies and CD's do you listen in a month.I think I am going to seat in my chair for a while. Thanks for the info.

The upgraded DAC's come with an improved analog section. This is said to make stereo and CD's sound much better with less distortion and lower noise floor. 2 channel already sounds great, I can't imagine how much better they can make it.They will be adding Dolby Pro Logic 2 which is a huge improvement over Pro Logic and makes TV and DSS much more enveloping. They will also add all of the new ES and EX stuff, but that is more gimmicky than necessary.
The 7.1 stuff doesn't interest me either but, it all comes as one big upgrade and is well worth $1500.
