Speakers that are matched well with Krell


I am looking for new speakers. My system is as follows. A Krell KRC-HR for a preamp, KAV250a for the amp, a KAV 300cd for my cd player, Nordost Red Dawn interconnects and Nordost Blue Heaven for my speaker wire. I am using Sonus Grand Piano speakers now. These speakers are from my dedicated home theater and I want to keep them there. Any opinions would be welcome.

I'd recommend Dynaudio Contours - I had the KAV/250a and Contour 3.0 combo for a couple years, and recently upgraded to the FPB-200c. I really like the sound on all types of music, though rock and jazz are my two genres of choice.

I personally would steer clear of at least the monitor Krell speakers (and the others are way too pricey most likely). I listened to the Krell monitors ($10K retail) driven by the FPB, followed by the Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE monitors ($3500 retail) and it wasn't even close, IMO - I much preferred the Dynaudio's.
