Boulder 1060 amplifier sound vs. Krell EVO 402


I am feeling a change coming on. Has anyone heard these two amps and have an opinion on the sound quality, which is "better?" I am driving Revel Salon2 speakers with a Rex pre-amp.

thanks.

My impression of the Boulder 1060 is that it has a forward treble, which was not my preference. Perhaps the 2000 series is better, but very expensive.

I have personally used the BAT Rex with the Pass XA200.5 and the Karan Acoustics 1200 monoblocks. Each of these is excellent and recommendable. The Pass XA.5 has a harmonic richness that is special. The Karan has a big sound and is very even across the whole spectrum, including the midrange. I am also curious about Gryphon and Vitus, but these are particularly costly.
