The latest Krell integrated is probably the best balanced sounding integrated
under $10 k out there, their recently discontinued Vanguard is similar is many ways ,the Vangaurd has 50 more wpc, the same class A amplifier section
the sliding Ibias that goes up to around 80wpc into pure class A then transitions
in part to class AB I was told ,the new integrated over 90 wpc into pure class A
and has a preamp out ,the Vanguard does not .i run subs ,Crutchfield makes a great little adapter board where you can plug your rca into sub and just run 4
wires to adapter, then spade or bananas to speaker terminals then run your subs
for $50 and no down side. The Vangard was $6k ,$7200 with the digital board and hdmi,inputs and out ,plus spdif and optical , I picked one up loaded
2 years old like new for $2k delivered ,it sounds excellent ,and I have had many excellent $$ amps as good or better then any $10 k amp preampIn my system.
