I have not listened to the Krell Foundation, but I have owned a Krell 707 for several years. The 707 is a fantastic processor, great for music using the pre-amp section and amazing for movies. If the Foundation performance is similar to the 707, you will love it! The best way to decide which one to buy is compare them, one on one, or better yet, ask a dealer if you can try them out in your own system for a week or two. Good luck!
