Ayre V3 VS. Krell KSA 100 S


I considering both of these models. Which one have people found to be the better unit. I currently use a Audible Illusions Modulus 3A as a preamp. I will probably be purchasing Maggies to go with one of these amps and i'm not interested in Bryston or Simm Moon. Thanks for the input!

I do agree with responses above Ayre V3 Mk2 no competition under $ 5000 and the amp is selling for $ 3750 and you can get good deal..there is plenty used too...good luck
This follow up is to Hiendmmoe: Thanks for the input. I would be interest in your V3. What would you be looking to sell it at? You can email me at: gmele@aol.com
Hello,I to have heard both amps the v3 is by far the better of the two.Infact the v3 in my mind has no competition under $5000.Also I have a fully updated united sonically that I'm geting ready to post.I'm looking to move up to the v1.Email back if interested.
I too would add that the V3 is the better of the 2 choices. The whole Krell S series had a bit of hardness in the mods and highs that nothing con correct. Anyone notice how quickly the line was replaced by the new version? just make sure that you get a V3 with at least the first upgrade (not sure what power conditioning does that a good pwer cord cannot do). There are good prices on used V3s out there. just check with Ayre (serial numerber) about verifying the upgrades. Good luck!
I recommend the AYRE V3 without hesitation!!! 100 times more natural sounding and can drive the maggies beautifully, A no brainer!!! Good Luck
