Question Home theater Amp

Hi Everyone,

I need some help choosing a replacement for my Marantz Amplifier.

I have 2 Amps that I am looking into .

2. Theta Dreadnaught II
3. Krell s 1500
My system is 5.1 right now but I may upgrade to an Atmos 9.2 system.

I have the B&W matrix THX system and am using 802 3s for the mains .

I plan to Bi Amp the 802s so I will need 11 Channels . I will have to buy two amps in total .

My thoughts are that the Krell is a newer amp and I could bi-amp with it now!

The Theta is a beast with 250 wpc .

I know that 802s love current and both would fit the bill but what are your thoughts?

also would either play nicer with the AV 8802a?
