Electrocompaniet vs Krell vs Musical Fidelity


Dearest audiogoners,

It's time for me to choose a digital source for my system. I'm picking between Electrocompaniet, Krell, and Musical Fidelity. Those brands sound nothing alike, that much I know. I'm interested in the EC because I'm using the ECI-3 integrated amp, and I think the synergy would be great. I'm interested in the Krell KAV-280cd because like the EC gear, it's balanced, and it might make for a good spark in my otherwise very romantic but not-so-detailed system. I'm looking at the Musical Fidelity A308cd and A3.2cd because it's the only brand that I can really audition where I live. Not much else is available that I'm interested in. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I'm norwegian my self, and all my friends have Electrocompaniet products. I think they kick ass! =)
I've heard Thule, mcintosh and some other amps before.
But EC are by far the best amps when it comes to clearity and "sound picture". It might not have the "punch" as other amps.. but I like it that way.

Check out SEAS Thor speakers. They sound great with ECI5 or AW220. :)
