Krell Vanguard Integrated vs Bryston B135
@Matias1979. Same story with me and the Vanguard.  I would strongly suggest you try Anticables power cable...it is the only one that really let the Krell soar clearly and dynamically! 
The peculiarities of a high value, low cost, amp
Try a Yamaha AS-501 from music direct...great value and quality build.  $599 I believe and has dynamic power up to 220wpc rms. 
Subwoofer insight.
Speakon draws almost no power and tracks amp output directly. 
Subwoofer insight.
Rwwear. No they don’t. 
Most musical stand mount loudspeakers
JBL 4429’s on Deer Creek Audio stands driven by Krell with Transparent cabling.  Dynamic without compression, extremely large soundstage, full midrange that borders on tube sounding and extended clean highs that can be adjusted for taste!  I’ve ow...

Get your gear from Music Direct...30 to 60 day trial and easy return!  That way you know for sure if it will work for you. 
Klipsch Heresy IV
Heresy’s always had fantastic detail!  Nice compact music maker...actually preferred them to any Harberth speakers.  My 4429’s actually remind me of the Heresy’s I had, but with a larger and more commanding presentation.
