EAD 8800 PRO VS Lexicon MC12B

I'm torn between these two processors. I will be purchasing one between now and (I guess) the next few days.
Problem is, I haven't demoed any of these and I'm just basing my decision on reviews and what people have to say here. The unit will be used mainly for music and probably HT in the future. Which of these units should I consider? Price wise, the MC12b is going to cost me about $1k - $1,200.00 more.

Thanks for all your input

GaryZ,

In the price range you are talking about, I would get room corerection if you go with Lexicon or Meridian. This comment is based on what I have read rather than first hand listening experience. But what I read convinced me to buy the v4 upgrade (room correction) kit for my MC-12, just haven't installed it yet.

As for which one to pick, I recommend listening to Logic 7 (MC-12) in a well set up 7.1 system before making any final decisions. This recommendation is from personal listening experience.

Thanks
BruceZ

Don't forget to add the Krell HTS 7.1 to your audition. I sold the Lexicon MC-8 and bought the Krell and couldn't be any happier.

Get the EAD, Meridian or Theta. These are the best sounding in my opinion.
