From what I understand T+A is a German manufacturer of some fine high end hi fi equipment. I haven't had an opportunity to hear any yet nor have I heard of it. Our Krell dealer is bringing T+A in and it's the first time I ever heard them admit anything was better than Krell, but they actually said the T+A, which is priced about like the KAV series, will outperform the KAV. I thought I would never hear them say anything was better than Krell so I thought I would throw this out for some other input.
