Krell or Classe Integrated for Sonus Faber Concert


I AM LOOKING FOR AN INTEGRATED AMP FOR MY SONUS FABER CONCERTOS. CURRENTLY I AM USING A BRYSTON B-60, AND I THINK MY SPEAKERS NEED MORE THEN 60 WATTS, AND I NEED A REMOTE CONTROL. I AM BETWEEN A KRELL KAV-300I AND A CLASSE CAP-101/151. CAN SOMEBODY RECOMEND WICH OF THIS AMPS WORKS BETTER WITH SONUS FABER SPEAKERS. MY CD PLAYER IS A REGA PLANET 2000 AND MY CABLES ARE AUDIOQUEST VIPER (RCA) AND SLATE.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

I ran the 300i w/ Concertos (and Transparent Super bicable) for a while. The Krell offers great control of the lower range of the Concertos abilities, but the detail can be excessive (read bright) unless you are very careful with your other components and room. I have also run my Concertos using a Classe CA151 (150w power amp, not the integrated), and I thought it was a better match for the Sonus Faber. I'm now running a 12w single ended integrated amp and Nordost cable. The Sonus have never sounded better in my room. There is a magic that the single ended amp and fast cables wrought. Feel free to email me for more information or comaprison equipment.
