OP- have you purchased yet? Curious what you're going to decide on. I was using a Krell s300-I with Vandy 2Cs and an Oppo103 and the sound was definitely bright, forward and analytical. Sold the amp, still have the Vandys and the Oppo. Also wanting to find a different CDP that's a touch warmer. Have had suggestions of looking at Marantz, Cambridge, Creek and Rega. Looking forward to hearing how your system is progressing...
