Anybody happy with high power Krell?

I've been strongly considering a higher power upgrade to my JRDG 9Ti's. One amp I haven't cosidered has been Krell. I once heard a Krell 600 fbp with a Krell CD player and Wilson Maxx speakers and it drove me from the room. Yet, I'm really intrigued by the thought of all that Class A power. There seem to be some decent used Krells around, and although I take reviews with a grai (or a bushel) of salt, 650 M monos are now "in" at TAS. I'd like to hear from people who are happy with Krell. As an aside, I'm also going to audition the Clayton M200-, another Class A power amp.

Thanks,
David

Man Osiris those things are huge, if you can swing them(the osiris) go for the big boulder mono's. I have the snot that came out of the nose of the osiris(eclipse, avalon) and enjoy them very much with tube power but you would need some HUGE tube amps to handle that set up. What do you use for surrounds? Eidolons?

Dare I ask why you use a center? Not really why you started this thread but I doubt that the avalons need it if set up properly. If anything the center utiopia is probably hurting the sound. How many people does it take to move those things? its gotta be about 6 at least! Don't the cabinets weigh about 1000lbs each? I used to dream about them till I realized that I would have to move so they would not fall through the floor! Where is that overly cornfedboy any way?
