Anybody happy with high power Krell?


I've been strongly considering a higher power upgrade to my JRDG 9Ti's. One amp I haven't cosidered has been Krell. I once heard a Krell 600 fbp with a Krell CD player and Wilson Maxx speakers and it drove me from the room. Yet, I'm really intrigued by the thought of all that Class A power. There seem to be some decent used Krells around, and although I take reviews with a grai (or a bushel) of salt, 650 M monos are now "in" at TAS. I'd like to hear from people who are happy with Krell. As an aside, I'm also going to audition the Clayton M200-, another Class A power amp.

Thanks,
David

i leave my tubes running 24/7 anyway. nice system . i would love to hear it. why the mixture of jm lab and avalon?
i run the ac and ceiling fan in the summer. it really is not that bad. i have an old house with tall ceilings as well. i hate the tall ceilings right now but love them in the summer. i have owned the krell ksa 250, 200s, 300s, and have a kst 100 strapped to a pro sub in my theater. i also had the md-20 and studio. i love krell. i just think if anyone hears the right tubes in their own system the journey will end. i was hard headed myself. it took me a long time to just shut up and listen to the music. i agree that krell will let you know whats on the recording .garbage in garbage out. ok fine most recordings sound like trash. i hear much more detail with my tubes then any krell. krell gives a cardboard cutout soundstage. good tubes make you forget about speakers, amps, preamps ,etc, and makes you feel you are there. audionut you sound just like me a few years ago. i did not want any stupid tubes, i wanted accurate to the t. but i now no what that means. i dare you to try good tubes as you will be praiseing them as most of the audioheads on this site. same goes for all you other ss heads. as i said i was mr krell for a while. good luck guys and gals.
