krell is not the way to go. Do you enjoy the sound of nails scratching a black board. Wake up to many choices to settle for overpriced overhjyped Krell
Universal vs. CDP & DVD???
I am thinking of pairing a Krell kav400xi with my Totem Hawks. After much listening between different SS and tube amps, the kav400xi seems to be the ideal match? It will also allow me to move to the Winds in the future as well!
My debate is whether to pair the matching Showcase DVD player with the Krell as my source for both CD & DVD (dual purpose 2-channel system) or go with seperates at a lower cost - perhaps a Jolida JD100 CDP and a simple DVD player?
2-channel music reproduction is what I am most concerned with. Am I compromising redbook CDP using the Showcase DVD as a CDP? Investing that much in a source also worries me right now with the new blu-ray/hd-dvd on the horizon as well.
I am going back to listen to the Krell again this week with the Showcase DVD and the Sony 9100 and NAD Silver DVD to compare those universals. I won't have the chance to compare the Jolida paired with it at the same dealer so will be taking a small leap of faith there, purchasing from seperate dealers.
Just curious if others have been in a similar situation and what their preferred choice became???
