I guess Dan D'Agostino won't be returning to Krell

Hmmm... $42k for the power amp and $200 for the speakers. That should sound like... something

HA

Yep, I'd love to pair those monoblocks with my 90's Technics speakers!!! Now that would be something special....

On a much less expensive scale I was surprised by the improvement my Krell S 300i made with my speakers. From the $350 Ascend CBM's to the $1,000 Monitor Audio's and the Mobile Fidelity OML 1's the Krell took control. Having the current and damping controlling the woofers improves the sound. The previous integrated amps I have owned were not able to drive the speakers as well. If I had purchased more expensive speakers with a previous amp I am not sure if I would be as happy.

I was basing my comment on a current setup I have right now where I paired my Clearfields (von schweikert) with my Rotel 1050 and the sound is far better than expected and not too far behind My main setup with 10k worth of electronics and a pair of Dynaudio 82s.

The Clearfields are such killer speakers. I am so glad I never sold them like I originally tried to do. They are going back into the main system this weekend again.

Rotel is known for their superior power supplies in their amps so I am not surprised it works well with your speakers.
