Been away for awhile. Saw last night and had to count the letters to make sure it wasn't MC. 
AV receiver a better bet than my current setup?
I highly doubt that a Marantz or any AVR will sound better than your Krell and Backert setup. AV receivers just don't sound very good, I have sold all my surround sound amps and preamps after trying for 20 years. AVR's don't come close to the equi... 
The "Snake Oil" Trope
+1 guakus - I agree, fuses are not good. Added resistance in both fuse holders and fuse itself, circuit breakers all the way. For the all my amps and preamp that had fuses, they have been replaced by soldered in silver-plated copper wire + circuit... 
Room treaments
GIK is excellent, but I'm using Vicoustic now. Check them out before making your decision. https://vicoustic.com

Fusers - 😎fiesta75 Oct 16, 2021, 8:53 PM EDTI'm just curious why the Purple Quantum Fuses really? post was removed? Nothing offensive in my opinion. The fuser supporters hadn't even had a chance to respond... I think it should be reinstated.Sincer...

To clean or not to clean...
Clean, there's always crap on it from pressing and packaging. 
How Do You Learn?
A local audio dealer that has the best sounding equipment that I could visit weekly. 
Fuse degradation?
I went to silver plated fuse holders for my equipment that still has fuses. It's most likely a contact degradation issue, fuse holder and fuse itself. In my opinion, purple, orange, blue or whatever color, is a waste of money. I've found, whether ... 
Review: Sansui AU-7700 Amplifier
I really do love those old Sansui's. They were and still do sound great and built like a tank. If you re-cap them, they will even sound better. Enjoy, I have for 42+ years! 
Purple Quantum Fuses really?
🤣 
NAD T765 AVR replacement fan?
You could take it apart and try vacuuming first.  
BI-WIRING VS DIRECT (2X2) CABLE for Martin Logan SL3
Bi-amp with 2 stereo amplifiers. For me it would be horizontal, not vertical bi-amping.
