Down to the Final Two -- Dreadnaught vs. Titan

After many auditions, I have narrowed my choice for an amp to replace my (not very) beloved Bryston 9B-ST. The final contenders are the Theta Dreadnaught II and the Simaudio Titan, both in five channel configuration. I was about to order the Titan when my wife surprised me with a rather large purchase which will necessitate my delaying the amp purchase until the end of the month. Being somewhat superstitious, I took this as an omen and thought that I would consult with the Audiogon Gods one last time.

My system consists of a Krell HTS 2 processor, B&W N-803s for the front speakers, HTM 2 center and N-805s for the rears. Any last minute thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I have a Dreadnaught and love it. Never heard the Tatin though.

Why don't you consider a used Dreadnaught. The II might be a little bit more powerful but for your setup, either one will be much more than enough. Just make sure you don't get the silver top if you are going to put it in front of the tv.

I really don't think you can go wrong either way. These are 2 of the finest amps, especially for HT. But FWIW, I have do have the Titan. I love it and it did replace my Bryston 9b.
