I have used MX 136, MX120 & MX121 as prepro's in my HT system and like them all. For 2 channel stereo I put in a stereo preamp. For me it improves the 2 channel sound.
So you think the sound will be better from older MX than HTS7.1? I like warm macintosh sound. The analog pre amp should be sufficient for 2 channel correct? Any other recommendations?
Sorry, I have never owned Krell equipment so I can't comment on it. I do prefer a separate preamp for stereo in passthru with a prepro for HT use that way you get the best of both. I was going to order an Oppo 205 to replace my 105D but after I found out that it can't stream anything I decided against it. I watch Netflix more than Bluray discs.
Can someone comment on mx134 vs krell HTS7.1 I would like to connect oppo 205 via analogue to either and use it for both 5.1 for movies, sacd, and 2 channel stereo.
I like macintosh warm sound, and don't mind it for movies either. Just need to know which one is a "better" machine, in terms of value, build quality, reliability, etc. Thanks
