Did I make a mistake buying Krell?

I was in search of a nice integrated amp that I could keep around for a long time. I got a good deal on a Krell KAV-300i, so I made a command decision to buy it.

I haven't hooked it up yet but I'm second guessing if it was the right decision. My equipment that will be used with the Krell: EAD-2000 cdp and Klipsch KLF-20 & Chorus II speakers (99db & 101db sensitivity respectively). The Klipsch speaker crossovers have upgraded resistors and caps and I can honestly say they don't sound bright and forward anymore. I would describe the sound right now as much warmer and alot less forward than before.

My question to you folks is:
1. Is Krell a good match for my existing set up?
2. What is the Krell sound?
3. If Krell isn't a good match, what would be better in the $1000-$1500 used range?

Thanks,
Mike

man i cant think of a better amp to run klipsch speakers with,bag all the hype about klipsch & tubes you have an outstanding amp with the krell & your klipsch will love it.

klipsch chorus speakers are IMO the best sounding model that klipsch ever made & they excell big time when paired with a amp that can man handel them & the krell will do just that.

what i dont get is why you are already 2nd guessing the krell before you have even heard it ? i have owned your speakers along with just about every speaker from the klipsch heritage line & i found that a great solid state amp would out perform tube amps any day with them.

ive also owned & few krell amps & have paired them with my khorns & the match was outta sight!
