Recommendation for multi-ch pre/pro
I had the Krell HTS and now have the HTS 7.1. To me, the original HTS sounds very similar to the Showcase. Side-by-side I had hard time telling them apart. I originally thought I would get the Showcase, but felt it wasn't an upgrade. The HTS 7.1 i... 
Multi-Channle Amp Dilemma
I'm in a very similar similar situation with A Krell 7.1 with KAV series amps & B&W Nautilus speakers. Overall very happy with the sound, but the top end tends to be dry & analytical (not bright). I have been told the Krell TAS is more... 
Cd player or Nautilus 804
I have made a lot of progress. I appreciate all the helpful advice. The first being moving them further from the wall just to see if it was the room or speakers. Moving the speakers further out was simply an amazing difference. Its incredible how ... 
EAD TheatreMaster 8000/8800 ?
Former Ead Owner, but now have the Krell HTS 7.1 (before that the HTS). I really enjoy the Krell, but realize it is not everyone cup of tea. The Krell has excellent dynamics, and can be very melodic with good material. It is, however, not very for...

My cables are xlo reference speaker cables (bi wire) with reference balance interconnects b/w amp & HTS. I am using xlo signature interconnects b/s CAL and HTS (previously MIT 3, but XLO has cleaner sound). DVD player also xlo signature digita... 
CDP - Wadia 830/Cary 303/Ayre CX7
Thank you for your responses. A few more questions...Are the bass signatures of these 3 players very different. My current Cal is a bit lean compared with a Krell piece I tried a while back. Would these players provide more bass than the Cal w/o t... 
Krell 7.1 or Theta Digital Casablanca II ???
I have the Krell 7.1, and feel it is a great product. The sound quality is much better than the original HTS. Operationally it is easy & reliable. If I devoted 70% to HT and only 30% to music, I would look for something less expensive than the...
