Upgrade Krell KRC-3

I am currently using a Krell KRC-3 pre-amp feeding a Gamut D200 MkIII into a pair of Tannoy TD12s. As the Krell is old I am looking to upgrade and get a more 'human' sound. Trouble is I don't know how good the Krell is compared to modern preamps. Where would you pitch a Krell against todays preamps and what would put some clear air between it and them?

Thanks for any advice/help. I live in the UK so some makes ain't available.

Firstly, thanks for your views guys I thought that people from the country of origin may know more about this pre.

I have a MC MCD201 front end and whilst superceded by the new 301 it still is a good sounding CD player. I have started to try and tune the sound using Transparent Audio cables and it is making progress. It may be possible that a little more tuning will do the trick. Mikey I live near Reading about 40 miles west of London.

Glenn, I love the pace and attack of the Krell which sits nicely with the Gamuts but was after a little more warmth.

I know what you mean about the Krell prices, they have a reasonable range aimed at home theatre and then a knee tremblingly expensive range with little in-between. The FBI integrated retails this side of the pond for the equivalent of $28,000 !!!
