I've experience with both....AND I DOUBLE THE "OUCH, THAT SOUNDS BRIGHT" STATEMENT!!!!
Not that it's totally out of hand, but I think tubes somewhere in that systm is deparately needed!
good luck. I think the Maggies do better with some tube magic here and there, or all the way through. But the Analyticla sound of the Krell and Maggies makes for a mighty edgy combo! However, everyone's hearing is different. I've come across a lot of people who have a tad rolled off ears, and this kind of thing would work great for them. I guess you'll have to tinker fo find out!
Good luck
