Krll, are you a Krell guru? To everyone else who reads this, the answer is definatly yes, this guy actualy does know the scoop quite well. I would take his word on any Krell question. I wonder though why the guy who had the MR subs, where you auditioned the new amp, has such pussy front end? Why doesn't he get the sack to put in a KCT and 28c? I totaly agree with you that the HTS is not KCT equal, nor is the DVD standard a substitute for the 28c ( although a very good all around substiute for the music-movie one box guy ). Cast is the only way to fly. As someone once said to me,"Got a problem with more bandwidth?" Thanks for all the help Krll!D
