I've been involved in audiophilia for 30 years and once worked in the field. I have to say that my confidence in the industry began evaporating in the 1980s when Krell amplification was embraced by the high-end opinion makers and retailers as representative of high fidelity sound. I had close friends in the business who sold it, but even they admitted they had to turn a blind eye and deaf ear to the effluent stream of Krell output. Seldom has a single manufacturer contributed so much to destroy credibility for the entire high-end audio industry. Krell amplification is uniformly non-musical, bearing no semblance to the tone or emotion of music as actually performed by people using real instruments in real acoustics spaces. The stuff is tonally horrid for the price and a poor reflection of what's possible to attain in this field at any price, IMO.
Classe will stand you better but even at that, you have many superior alternatives. What do you want to accomplish; how much can you spend; what space do you want to fill with music? We can collectively tell you so much more if you're open minded and more forthcoming.
