Simple question?

Wilson audio Sophia speakers. What would be the better driver,
Krell or McCormack. I have been told McCormack. I am in the process of purchasing a system and started my quest with Krell in mind and have been told that the McCormack sounds better. I have not heard the two systems side by side to compare and I am still a beginer with a lot of questions. I guess I am looking for bang for my buck.

Thanks

Many McCormack amp owners use a tube preamp and claim the combination has all the magic of an all-tube setup but the power and transparency of SS. I'm a SS kind of guy, so I went with the McCormack RLD-1 with my DNA-125, and the transparency and accuracy while maintaining "musicalness" and a degree of "liquidity" is so satisfying I'll likely never sell either.

I've heard the highly-regarded Krell and Levinson amps, and although I understand why they have their reputation, I just couldn't live with either after having McCormack gear - especially with Steve's mods.

Good luck with your seach.
