Based upon some comments posted here on Audiogon, the cost of refurbishing Krells can be quite expensive, with that it mind, it might be best not to purchase anything too old, unless it has documented proof of already being appropriately refurbished.
Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s
Anyone heard this combo?
I've been waiting for an appropriately priced Pass Labs 250.5 to pop up, but the wait has made me consider some other alternatives. In my conversations with Pass, they've steered me away from lower power options (e.g., the 150.5), so I'm concerned that the V-Kxe won't have enough power to really push the Thiels. However in reading over the positive Stereophile review of the 2.4s, I think much of the listening was done on the this amp. It does save me quite a bit of cash over the Pass 250.5 though.
Any opinions are welcome (along with other amp suggestions). Thanks folks.
