I have owned the Arcam and the Krell. Subjectively the Arcam makes music flow, whereas the Krell makes "sound".
I am sure the Krell lovers will kill this comment, but for my taste it was no contest really.
Arcam is one of those small companies that simply make musical sounding "whatever that means" gear.
Good luck,
Larry

After months of not reading this thread, I visit only to find a vast majority, (vast with three people) well, a majority, likeing the musicality of the Arcam.
Have you listened to the DK MKII? For $3000. It sets a new standard, better than my Gryphon, and some separates which cost in excess of $30K. THAT's impressive.
Best,
