Krell or Bryston 4SST2

Not dull or muddy. Most of6 the high end stuff is niether, Bryston won;t be a problem. Certainly ARC "High Definition". You appear to have enough to buy Spectral, Sanders System amps, BAT, Pass,LLam the newer Krell. The world is your oyster so go out and listen to the current crop.

Wolf you got me there it is a bed of oysters indeed. There seems to be quite a lot of them the way people slurp them down, but they aren't cheap anymore and they have been gourmet-etized, with there bed and water of origin listed on the menu. I went out recently and at 2 or 3 bucks a piece it ain't like the sloppy hot sauce drenched dozens I ate when I vistited New Orleans. I hope they are still cheap and messy.
And Yes I suppose Pass is as good or better than Bryston or even Krell might be for some ears, I can't say. I just had to add an audio comment
