Watt Puppy that much of an improvement?
I upgraded from a pair of B&W N803 to Wilson Audio CUB2 a couple of years ago, and there was no comparison, no need to A/B, the Wilsons sounded real and the B&W sounded like stereo speakers - I later had a chance to compare them to the B&a... 
What's a good upgrade from a Krell 300cd cd player

Krell SACD Standard v DVD Standard CD replay
The SACD Standard (all 3 versions) is noticably better sounding on Redbook CD. I've used both over several years. Krell will tell you the same. 
Time to change. But to what?
Audphile1 - I don't put much stock in “in-Store-Audio-Demonstrations”. I audition all of my prospective gear at Home. I have a large dedicated listening room with good acoustics, that I am well familiar with, plus I hold on to my old gear to use a... 
Time to change. But to what?
Audphile1 - I too had mixed feelings regarding Wilson Speakers, but when they were properly set-up in my Home, with good electronics - the results were mind-blowing. Everyone that came into my Home had the same reaction - they simple could not bel... 
Time to change. But to what?
I upgraded out of a pair of B&W N803s (which I enjoyed very much) to Wilson Audio CUB2 and then Sophia Speakers. The Wilson Speakers were vastly better than the B&Ws in every way, in my Room with my Electronics, there was no comparison. I ... 
Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7
When did the MSRP (US) of the Sophia2 go up to $16K?A great Speaker, but getting a bit pricey now... 
Stereophile claims about Magico
Very well said Wireless200. It is quite obvious that whatever piece of gear Stereophile happens to be reviewing at the time is "the best sounding" “ground breaking” “must have” piece of gear available. Meanwhile some of the reviewers have 10 year-... 
Considering Krell Resolution 2 - Thoughts helpful
The Krell Resolution2 would be a significant upgrade from the B&W 703. I nearly bought a pair, they compared very well against the B&W 802 & Revel Ultima Studio. I ended up purchasing the Wilson Audio-Sophia, but the Krell would have b... 
Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8
Jkalman - why are you selling your W/P8s? You were a strong advocate of Wilson Speakers; your voice will be missed... 
Revel Ultima Studio 2 vs B&W N802D
I second the "Wilson Audio Sophia-2" in this price range. A step above the B&W and Revel, on build-quality, asthetics and sonics >easier to drive, more realistic-sounding with better imaging. Still a great deal @ $14K, plus its available in... 
Best Integrated Amplifier Made at the USA
The Krell FBI (full balanced integrated), by far the best. 
Anybody heard Krell SACD mkIII?
Is Krell offering upgrades to Owners with Units still covered under Warranty? My MKII Standard is less than 6-months old, works and sounds perfect, but if the MKIII sounds better, than I'm interested in upgrading. I also had the MKI, and found the...
