Krell 400xi or Musical Fidelity A5 for ML Summit?




I had been using a Krell 400xi with my Summits, but the top end bothered me. I have a chance to get the MF A5 as pretty much an even-up swap? Should I pull the trigger? I have an MF A5 CD player.

As John Wright (modder of older Ed Meitner gear and soon to be released John Wright gear) once told me. The new Krell stuff is actually very good and passes through everything. Before pulling the trigger on the amp swap I'd consider looking at the source. I find that whatever you feed the Krell, it will spit out. My setup has a very analog sound, I attribute this entirely to my source and the Krell simply passes along the information it receives. If anything I think the Krell is on the warm side of neutral.
