Bruce - the Krell HTS absolutely does support 7.1, even through the analog inputs, just not DPLIIx. It does Dolbly and DTS "ES" processing for the two extra surround channels, plus some other variations for those extra channels...I just don't remember the details.
Freemand I think you listened to the Showcase. There is a good difference between the showcase and the HTS 7.1...thus the price difference.
FWIW - Krell is supposed to come out with an Evo pre/pro sometime.
