Handymann, I was in your position after selling my last Krell FPB600 years ago. I've had 3 Krell amps and Krell was the only stable component in my system. They worked great with everything including 100db horns. Krell cd players are also excellent but all had tranport issues which was unfortunate. I decided to sell just to try something different.
I had withdraws like you, missing the bass control and dynamics. Nothing I had since can match Krell strengths but do have a more open, grain free and musical sound.
After reviewing AVM Ovation MA-8 Mono Amplifers, Peter Breuninger of AVShowrooms declared them the new Krell. He found them best Krell Evolution 900e mono in all traditional Krell strengths. I think Peter is a Krell fan. Google the review if interested.
