I've owned a Krell Foundation 4K Ultra HD for about three years and my experience matches @babyseaotter99 . Truly excellent audio performance. Lots of inputs and outputs. Clunky OSD with 1980s feel to it. I'm using mine with a Panasonic Viera VT60 plasma panel, though,which is 1080p not 4K. So I'm not suffering from the shortcomings highlighted by @dynguy (yet). However, Krell just began offering an HDMI-switcher unit that works in tandem with the Foundation and addresses the shortcomings. This two-box approach is similar to what Meridian did with their G-series processors and HD621 switcher. I like the Foundation so much that I might just buy the new Krell switcher in anticipation of going 4K on the panel some day. Though, to be honest, I hope my VT60 never dies.

Hell all. I'm in the process of building a nice HT and Audio system. I decided on the Sonus Faber Evolution and a matching Amati Futura Center speaker. I need to decide on an amp and AV processor. I would like some insight on with to chose:
Taking a poll with people in the know: of the three which would give me the best pairing/performance.
Thanks.
P.S
Im open other suggestions as well.
