Krell KST-100

I can't seem to find many users ... am told this was a "Class A/B version" of the KSA-100. Have a chance to procure one, it's running in the system now. The right bass and slam, but maybe I'm missing some soundstage width and treble detail compared with my Odyssey Stratos ... They're driving a pair of Maggies 1.7 with a Linn Majik DS driving the amp directly ...

Appreciate some thoughts on your experiences with this Krell, if any ...

LOL, The KSA series amplifiers were and still are some of the best amplifiers ever made. The KST-100 was a lower priced product and is not a KSA-100 in AB.

There are many things to consider when setting up a system. I don't think you can point at any one item and give it total credit or total blame for the way a system sounds.

"It isn't the last word in detail but unlike your Maggies my Vandersteens aren't either."

Is live music the last word in detail?

All I hear is detail and transparency. What about pace, timing, timbre and musical involvement? Has listening to stereo equipment become nothing more than an analitical experience?
