Classic Integrated Question: Krell or Classe?


Quick Poll: Krell KAV-400xi or Classe CAP-150?

Which is better mated with Vandy 2CE Signature speakers and a Rotel RCD-991 CD player? 

Economically speaking, the Classe can be had for half the price of the Krell. If the Krell is better, it is worth twice the price of the Classe? 

Music tastes consists of pop, rock and electronic.

Im a Classe fan!  I had a CA-150 and CA-200.  Great amps.  
The Ayre Ax-7e was one I was strongly considering lately but someone contacted me and offered me a Belles Aria for a fair price in the color I wanted, silver, so I went for it.  The pairing with my Schiit Gumby and Fritz Carrera BE’s is heavenly 😁

I had some 2ce’s mkii not sigs, so I’m slightly familiar with those... I think the Belles Aria would pair well.  The Ayre looks like a really nice one too so I’m not sure you can go wrong with either.  
With all this in mind, I do think I still preferred my Classe CA-200 and lightspeed attenuator best.
