a system to complement my dynaudio anniversary 25
I have heard the krell integrated (not sure which one) a few years back and was very unimpressed. Not musical at all (to my ears back then), no dimensionality to the music, flat, I liked my $500 parasound amp much better.

Pass X2.5 preamp, I am in the same boat and that's the one I will get for my X150. From research I have done, it seems matching the pass x series amps to an x series preamp is magical.
