I would personally go for the Classe'. After auditioning the Krell lineup I ended up choosing to have the Classe' CA-400 amp with their DAC-1 and CP-50 preamp. Don't get me wrong, I really liked the Krell and it was a hard choice but the warmth of the Classe' is what won me over. Plus like the Krell, the Classe' products are also built like a tank!
