Anyone at home at Krell?
Krell’s name is still worth a few dollars so I would be inclined to believe them when they say they will re-open and keep trying. Ripe for a takeover and flip to consumer gear like Luxman did in the late 80’s. That turned out a huge amount of prof... 
$8k for speakers - new or used
Nice speakers. Based upon the overalls of the amp I would get that moving out of my possession ASAP. I just don’t feel maintenance on an amp is replacing the caps every 8yrs or so. Reselling the B&W’s and adding $8k will get you both a newer m... 
Decisions, decisions, decisions
What is the model number of the integrated? If it is typical newer mass produced Marantz then the speakers will be severely limited by the amp to the point of the lack of capacitance, small transformer size and so on pretty much needed for the spe... 
Anyone at home at Krell?
@jkhallpa57 There might be a lot of people scrambling to get their items back if they do go bankrupt. It's not as if they will just send everything back to everyone. Lots of road trips! A company that goes bankrupt doesn't care about anything that... 
Anyone at home at Krell?
For sure! I am just waiting to hear from the first person that drives there in person to see what is happening  
Add sub to 802D4s?
I tried everything under the sun to integrate subs with Maggies. In the end I had to get an active crossover (Bryston 10B sub) to get things right.   
Mirage M-3si Replacement Tweeters
You might be able to find a donor pair. If not match to Seas or similar. The specs for the tweeter can be found and would be a matter of matching but with 4 tweeters per pair I would look for a donor pair.  
No replaement PCBs for Krell Evo series
More signs Krell is on death's door ;(  
Revel Salon 2
With the drivers not being available for replacement pricing for speakers drop quickly. Those tweeters are the reason I didn’t buy a pair. They were offered last year at $5k CAD which is around $3,700 ish USD. Any issues at all its a major issue. ... 
Experienced Maggie Lovers Please Advise
I have 1.7's. I feel they are the sweet spot for quality/value to price. The 3.7's are a step up in performance and price however for me it's not worth it. The 20's are a different story though but very much higher in price.    Using an active c... 
Totem Forrest - old but still good
Great sound for the price. Hard to beat the performance at it's price point. They can only give so much but they really are up there on the value scale  
Solid State Power Amps
Anything with a strong power supply. Everyone is suggesting along the same lines- large stiffening caps, lots of output devices and a good sized toroidal transformer. The Coda line is what I would take IF if didn't want gobs of power on tap for lo... 
Looking for phono preamp advice in the $1000 - $1600 range
I have a Project and upgraded to an Allnic H-1201 used at your price point and it was a massive upgrade.  
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
@yyzsantabarbara  thank you so much. I was hoping on a cost effective option.   
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
Has anyone had an opportunity to bridge them for the 200W @8ohm? Curious to hear back on this. At the price point of this amp a pair bridged up would be a fantastic deal!!
