Pierre:   Sounds like you enjoy the sound from the Krell/Wilson combo. The problem is not with your setup it is with your other half.I have long been a Krell/Wilson listener and truly believe that you might regret a move to lesser (more acceptable... 
Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K)
15k is a generous budget. If your room is 10x14 or smaller suguest a used pair of Wilson Sopha 3's, (and invest difference in S&P spiders), if larger room size then again used Wilson, but larger Sasha's. Both are very accurate, World Class. En...

The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ?
I have cd,s I bought at summer ces (chicago) in June 1983, that still play perfect, and sound good, (from mofi). The discs have lived in normal humidity and heat entire almost 34 years, no problems. No sure what the axe was that the original poste... 
Should I buy a Class A Amp.
I have owned a KSA200 since 1990. Incredible amp. If your system is bass challenged look no further. No one builds amps like this anymore.   In 26 years my amp only cost me $350 in repairs. I have paid more to repair an fpb mono with bad caps. Don...

Two KSA 80B power amplifiers
These amplifiers need to be converted at the factory. The conversion consisted of a mono driver doard, a new backplate that contained only a single hole for an XLR input and a single rca connection.It is definately worth a phone call to see if the...
