What speakers would be best for Krell KAV2250 w/28

Gherrera1,

Thanks for the advise. I will experience the system with the Focal speakers.

TheSoundhouse,

Thanks for advice. You sound like Thesoundhouse to me. I tried the set with the B&W703 with MIT cables, and Sony E777EX (old CD player) and it sounds very good. I like the CD player by Sony. I ordered the SOny XA5400ES CD player and will try to hook them up with the Focal speakers this weekend and i will let everyone know if there is any sound improvement.

Hi All:

So I have a little get together on Friday night with friends, nothing special just chicken wings and a few beers. Anyway, so I first experienced Krell system; KAV2250 and KAV208P with Monster XLR cables. This system connected with B&W 703 and Focal Chorus V, 836 V throgh Adcom speaker switch box. The Focal sounds bright and sweet at 30 vol. while the B&W was not too musical flavor, lack of mid-range. I then cranked up the vol. to 55 the B&W gets better with lively music and very sweet sound while the Focal sounds very lound and hash.

The similar results yielded for the same speakers when listened with Aragon 205 with Stage One Pre-Amp and Anthem MCA20 with AVM40 Pre-Amp systems.

So there you have it. B&W known as tight bass, sweet sound and it shown (as the right vol). Focal has a better mid-range but has no bass when compare with B&W. (just my opinion, no offense guys)

Music: Jah by Chris Smith
Sony SACD XA5400ES Brand new
Sony CDP X777ES (18 yrs old)

Note: XA5400ES sounds very very good as they all agree but... the drive mechanism is noisy when compare with 18 yrs old technology made by the same Sony company. I wonder the same...anyway, the 18 yrs old technology is a lot heavier (about 60lbs vs 22lbs) but sounds very good too(i give it a 9/10). You would not trade this old folk if you have one.
