Krell KAV-250a/3 or Proceed HPA3

I have an opportunity to purchase a Krell KAV-250a/3 for almost half the price of a Proceed HPA3. I need one to power my B&W N804 and HTM-1 speakers. I've heard the Proceed. Loved it. Unfortunately I have no way of listening to the Krell. The question is, is it worth buying one site unseen? I know this is anethama for many of you, but bear with me please. Economy is tight, but I REALLY need a good amp NOW for these speakers. For your knowledge, I am using a Proceed AVP now for surround preamp. Not sure if Proceed plays best with Proceed or if pairing the AVP with the Krell would be like fire and water. Thanks.

Go for the Proceed Hpa 3 over the Krell
Proceed Amps have a better resale value
over the Kav series from Krell. Sound
of the Hpa 3 will fit better with your
B&W speakers, I use a similar setup.
