Krell KAV-2250 power, against HALO JC-1

Does anyone knows the entry-level Krell's "baby" KAV-2250? Strange for me, it's difficult to find something on it through the forums around. It seems people mostly play FPB toys... Wes Phillips wrote a very affirmative review about KAV combo 280p/2250 at ON HIFI. Beating mashines like MF Nu-vista 300 doesn't seem breezing, isn't?
Can someone compare the KAV-2250 to the Parasound HALO JC-1? Anyone tested them head-to-head?
Finally, could the pre KAV-280p be replaced with some more affordable, say, swedish pearl Primare PRE30?

a good friend has had a KAV-2250 in his system for many years. pairs them with Krell resolution II speakers and it sounds great. good control, detail and everything else that matters. doubt i'd ever think of comparing it to adcom anything as it's clearly steps above.

i have no experience with the JC-1's so i can't comment.

can't see why you couldn't match the 2250 with another pre. it might take some trial and error but i think a good none krell match could be found.
