Need insight on these amps


I just sold my power amp and a few other components. Looking to buy a first class amplifier for my Platinum Audio Solos which are a difficult load but I like the way they sound. Right now I see the following amps available in different websites:
1) Krell FPB 300
2) ARC D-400
3) ARC 300.2

I would like to hear from anyone who have heard these amps in the past what is their opinion on them. I'll be using a tube preamplifier. I'm also open to suggestions on amps that retain their value over time. Thanks in advance for your time.

First off like everyone has suggested, you have to try in your own system.  A number of years ago I heard an all Krell system with Sonus Faber Cremona speakers and it was breathtaking.  ARC products are decent but IMO there are better options.  I used a Krell KAV-250 on my Alon V MKII speakers with good results at one time.  As I am not familiar with your speakers, it is hard to know how they sound and how your other components match together.  Even a used Rowland M-112 is a good little amp that has a sweet mid-range.  Too many options without knowing your speakers.  Sorry that I cannot be more helpful.
