Krell Resolution 2 - suitable upgrade??
Hugh, unless you are talking 15k used, keep the 2s. You will just be moving sideways. Sorry, but you will need to almost double the budget. 
Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature?
B, I can get a bit possesive about Totem myself. No worries, we are on the same team. What can we do about this stricken fella? 
has anyone dealt with benz micro on warranty issue
If purchased through legitimate channels, Musical Surroundings is great. Benz is so backed up, be prepared to wait. Mail me off line and I will give you my contacts there. Any reason you can't go back to your retail dealer? 
What's a good upgrade from a Krell 300cd cd player
Cool! Do you also have a Hyundai to swap for my Porsche? Tires ($2000.00) every 3 months and the related high dollar maintenance is killing me. BTW, the SACD III is the same inside excepting the transport and software to run it. It is light years ...

Biwiring and impedance
Kal, Thanks for letting me slide. Low impedance is a real issue that newbies can get into trouble with. Several speaker mfgrs refuse to replace tweeters that have been burnt by unstable amps. They claim owner abuse when it is simply a matter of "I...

Usher Be - 718's for Home Theater and 2 Channel

What's a good upgrade from a Krell 300cd cd player
Li, This info is in stark contrast to another member who said he paid 3000 to upgrade his MKII. Guess I'll call Walter to get the real skinny. Krell gave me a 505 after I had so many problems with my Standard. I have a complete KAV stack, minus a ... 
Advantages of upgrade from VPI 16.5 RCM
