This really depends on your tastes and the type of music you listen. If you can borrow either one and then go to a resaler that has the other model, try to compare them to each other by swapping the units in the system. Bring some of your favorite CD's. My personal taste would go for the Krell, but like I said it's my taste. Trust your ears and go for the one that moves you.
