Krell Vanguard Integrated vs Bryston B135

Not even close ...the Krell Vanguard is equal to, and in many cases, superior to separates.  The limitations will be your cables and ancillary equipment.

FYI, the Krell does 200w/ch @8ohms and 400w/ch into 4ohms!!  It replaced my FPB 300/Phantom combo...it's that good!  It is extended, fleshed out and dynamic.  Sound staging is amazing with great image spread and detail.  A great PC and clean AC are required.  If it sounds etched then it is indicative of problems elsewhere.  Of course some listeners dislike realistic frequency extension in favor of a more colored or muted top end.

Thanks! for sharing- dave_b

I want it all! Detail, dynamics, micro and macro extension. Nothing muted nor rolled-off, especially, the top end.
