I recently traded my Krell KRC-3 and KSA-50S (about $6300.00) in on a Musical Fidelity A308cr pre-amp and amp (about $6300.00).
I had the Krell's for ten years and thought they walked on water. I happened to hear the Musical Fidelity pieces and had to have them. I literally couldn't listen to the Krell's anymore because the high end was no longer the 'natural' high end (the drums and cymbals).
I've seen a lot of people not bash Musical Fidelity, but place it on a lower level than Krell, Rowland, Levinson. But I'm a full level up from where I was five months ago, and I've never had a second thought or regret.
The A308cr is 250 watts in 8 ohms and 400 into 4 ohms, so it ought to drive whatever you'd like.
