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

I have heard both; and if I had to live with a SS amplifier - it would be Pass Labs or McCormack. The Krell sounds nice, but the McCormack sounds better! If you are in the beginning stages of purchasing the entire system - do yourself a favor and listen to some tubes before you plunge. To me, triodes are the very best! Just understand that triodes do not rattle windows due to their low output power. Check out www.dejavuaudio.com to get an idea of what can be done the right way.

Hope this helps
