If you like YBA, Krell may not be quite what you expect although it does have tight bass (the 600s on Wilson Sophias). FWIW, I had a Krell KSA 100 for a while and it was good but a little bright.
I liked the McIntosh MC1201 monoblocks the best however, slamming massive McIntosh XRT28 speakers like I have never heard before. Everything was shaking except for the amps and speakers (they weigh incredible amounts). I was impressed but it's a conservativly-rated 1200W per channel amp afterall. At any rate, try to audition whatever you can because room and system synergy are critical for any new component to sound good. Arthur
