I haven't heard the MC8, but own the MC12. The MC12 has six-channel analog pass=thru. I use my system for both HT and 2-channel music extensively. I find the MC12 to be a stellar performer in both cases. I owned the DC-1 and the MC-1 prior to the MC-12. There were things that those both did well and things they both lacked. The MC12 I find superb, and haven't given 2 seconds worth of thought to upgrading since it was put in my system. I read the comments all the time about the Lex's not doing well on music - I haven't found that to be the case, tho I haven't spent a ton of time bringing in other units to a/b with it. -Kirk
Lexicon MC8 vs Bryston SP1.7 pre amp
I am upgrading my home theater system and have come to a cross road for the pre amp. I like the Lexicon MC8 for its home theater applications, but favour the Bryston for its 2 channel pass through. My system is Bryston 4BST & 6BST amps with Martin Logan Aries front, Martin Logan Logos centre & Sony HDTV LCD projector (may add the ML Prodigy & send the Aries to the rear). This system is in my living room/kitchen and is my main stereo and home theater, so the 2 channel application is important to me. Does anyone have an opion on the Lexicon MC8 vs the Bryston SP1.7?
