KR Audio VA340 MKII vs Melody AN 845


Has anyone had the chance to listen to either of these integrated amps? Any opinions one way or another?

Hugh,

Oh man! Why'd ya post that, lol? I was feeling warm and tingly about ordering the PB101/M845 (which is really too big for my space) and am now wondering if the AN845 is the better choice...

I'm an AN211 owner it is a very good amp, which I think can be excellent once I get the stock 211 tubes out. From talking to Hugh, the AN845 is supposed to maintain most of the merits of the AN211 (delicacy, beauty, texture, tonality) but add monstrous bass to the equation.

The low end of my AN211 is not shy by any means, so I'm quite curious as to what the AN845 actually brings.

My prejudice would be towards the Melody (I also owned an MK88 immediately before this) but I know KR amps have a nice reputation.
I hope so, Hugh. FedEx can't get here quick enough with my PB 101 and M845s!

Can't wait.
