Need Advice on a Low End CD Player Giant Killer
Onkyo DX-7555. Look it up. 
Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular.
I just heard that driving some Avalon's - it's a different sound to the old Krells at least the FPB cast series. It is smoother on the top and more open sounding and resolving with slightly more body but it doesn't have the bass slam. There is mor... 
Help me decide – Revel or Focal
Tough choice imo. Focal is great but overpriced here in the US. It's half the price in France and Europe. If the dealer won't give you a healthy discount on the Focals, then focus on the Revels. Unless you really, really like the sound of the Foca... 
Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular.

Simaudio versus Accuphase?
Defintely go out and listen. I have had many listening sessions with Accuphase units. Believe me, it's some of the best out there, and at the Japanese prices, it's a no brainer. The only stuff that could possibly beat it is FM Acoustics and Boulde...
