Krell - HTS - 5.1 Channel Surround Processor Preamplifier - Silver

The Krell HTS (Home Theater Standard) is a high-performance 5.1-channel surround processor and preamplifier engineered to bring Krell's renowned analog audio performance to a complete home theater system. Rather than treating two-channel playback as an afterthought, Krell designed the HTS around high-bias Class A analog circuitry, making it equally at home with serious music listening and multichannel movie playback.

The HTS provides an extensive selection of analog and digital connections, including balanced XLR and single-ended RCA inputs, six-channel balanced and single-ended outputs, optical and coaxial digital connections, and a DB-25 multichannel output. Comprehensive legacy video switching is also provided for component, composite, and S-Video sources, along with a separate Zone 2 analog output.

This original 5.1-channel Krell HTS is finished in silver and is in excellent pre-owned condition with minimal signs of previous use. The unit is fully functional and includes its remote control. It remains an excellent choice for a high-quality legacy home theater system or an audio-focused system requiring both multichannel processing and capable analog preamplification.
