Krell S1200- Among the best sounding processors?

Seriously thinking of buying one for primarily multi channel audio and processed stereo. Is this about as good as it gets when used with the matching Krell S1500 amp? I am new to this arena being a long time two channel guy. FWIW I was told by a legit source that the similar Classe gear wasn't competitive sonically. I have no idea and would like to hear from those who know concerning multi channel gear at this level where audio is the focus. Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Kr4. I truly have no bias and want opinions to help in deciding. My legit source carries B&W and hence could carry Classe but simply said that it wasn't competitive sonically to the Krell gear. I have no idea and can imagine some dealer bias at play. I have zero preference and just want the best audio possible. True story.

Try the Anthem D2V, it has great DACs, Room correction and serious video side aswell.

JFTR, you really won't know for sure, until you get one or both in your system, with your gear in your room! - and then you gotta tinker with it...set it up right, and spend time. All the opinions in the world won't answer all those points for you...not to mention your own personal preferences and tastes. (hey, we all own different gear)
Why not simply look for a used unit on the market, and buy one? Then, you can simply sell it back on the market, and get your funds back. Then, you can do the same with the other processor, and THEN YOU'LL ACTUALLY KNOW!
If you're a savvy buyer, you'll actually make money here! If you just pick up what comes along, perhaps you'll either get you're money back when you sell, or maybe lose a hundred or so. But big deal! You'll have paid a small price, if any, and gotten an education, and some experience.
Everything else is a whole lotta "he said, she said"...
