H.T. Processor witch is better in sound...

Krell Foundation have lots of option and 10 HDMI input and 2 outputs. What I've been reading about it,you almost need the dealer for set up it is complicated and there no dealer around etc...So the battle would be with Anthem that got a lot of bell and whistle and Classe SSP that got the best sound on the reviews.I will do some searching during the year.

If anyone have more info about HT Processor it would be appriciate.

Kal,

Are you sure Anthem has a trademark on ARC? As in Atlantic Richfield Corp as well as acoustic room correction that seems unlikely. Perhaps I haven't noticed the tm declaration next to ARC when used by Anthem. I innocently used ARC as an abbreviation for acoustic room correction, and had not intended to trespass on a trademark if such exists.

I had the impression that acoustic room correction was a feature of the chip Cary used rather than Cary's proprietary technology. Shortly after the 11a hit the market, the AVS owner's thread was filled with complaints about bogus readings from the technology. I bought my 11a at great discount after the bugs were known.

I checked the Anthem web site and failed to see a trademark symbol in connection with the description of Anthem Room Correction (ARC).

If you can live without HDMI switching, Lexicon MC12 can be had pretty cheap these days. Will sound much better than Krell IMO. I have used few processors in the last many years. My top ones are Proceed, lexicon MC12, EAD signature. Krell sounds very cod!!

Dbphd: Are you sure Anthem has a trademark on ARC?

No, I was sort of kidding as ARC is used to mean many things including Anthem Room Correction, Audio Rate Control, Audio Return Channel, Automatic Room Correction, Atlantic Richfield Company and many others. However, in your post, it would not be possible to know what you meant because either Automatic Room Correction or Anthem Room Correction would be equally in context.

Girish listed only older/discontinued processors and says he has used few processors in the last many years. However, in recent years, there has been a flowering of new ones and, although he thinks that "Krell sounds very cod!," there's nothing fishy about the newest one.
