Well, a long time ago...
In December 2008 I became a proud owner of a pair of Krell Evo-400 monoblocks (will be upgraded to new Evo-400e very soon). Never had opportunity to see or listen to the now discontinued KAV-2250.
I know a guy from neighboring town who own a pair of Halo JC-1. We have swaped blocks a few times, and I can say much cheaper JC-1 is not slouch at all and performs pretty well in A/B vs superiorly classed Krell Evos... Overall Krell Evo-400 emerged a bit better (definition, musicality, but JC-1 proved more sparkling), but for money JC-1 is still value hard to beat.
