I bought a showcase after a home audition against a lex mc 12, I gave the edge to the lex on ht by a hair, but I thought the krell was much better musicly,considering that the krell was half the price of the lex it was a easy choice, I have since added the krell 2250 & 3250 amps, I have had a few systems in the past, classe, B&k, to name a few, none comes close to the krell setup I have now, also, krell has the best support that I have had, good luck
