Krell 7.1 or Theta Digital Casablanca II ???

I listened to both and they are very good but I chose the EAD/ Alpha Digital Pro 8000 it just sounded more musical I also based my decision on previous experience with EAD gear,great sound/build quality and wonderful customer service.My system needs are the opposite 80% music

Personally I use the Casa-Blanca II (upgraded from the Casa-Nova) and it is awesome. The open architecture is not to be believed. You can configure this piece so many different ways that I can't even begin to explain. I am convinced that I will never need another processor, just different cards as my system changes in the years to come. Keep in mind that a good transport, amp, speakers and cabling all add to the ultimate movie going experience.

PS- I here the krell stuff is good too!

I had the Krell 7.1 I have since bought the new PrePro from Bel Canto. I was very happy with the Krell , but the Bel Canto is way better IMO. The stereo pre section is by far the best in any Home theater pro that I have heard. Check it out.
