I have been living with a hybrid 5.1/2.0 system for a few years though the 5.1 part of it has changed a great deal. I tried going all-separates and it was a real hot mess. I just replaced my processor along with three outboard monoblocks and a separate DSP unit with 1 Anthem MRX 540. That feeds my Luxman integrated which is what I use for 2.0 channel listening. Really very happy with the final results and the loss of clutter.
I would strongly recommend you get a new HT receiver like an Anthem MRX to replace both of the Krell units and then get a stereo amplifier for the 2.0 part of the system. If you can do an integrated even better, just based on wiring and system complexity.
