Krell or Bryston 4SST2

You might want to consider a Mark Levinson 532H. There is one currently offered on Audiogon for 27 days. I have no relation with the seller. However, I own the amp and have owned previous Krell amps and the Levinson is excellent. Offer the seller $5000 and see what happens. If you want to hear my amps and you are near Boston, feel free to contact me to have a listen. Good luck. (300 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 450 into 4 ohms.)

If the "world is your oyster", I think the proper term should be "current bed" instead of "crop.", unless this world is a single oyster, in which the scenario would be cramped and a little fishy.

Go for the Krell. You will be glad you did.

Anyone know how the Krell 300 integrated amp matches up with the Martin Logan reQuest speaker?

The Bryston is a neat little amp. It used to be a better value, but the current price isn't too tough. I would try one out first to see if it's to your liking.
