It costs $7k but it has plenty of Class A power to make my Maggie’s sing. Sound stage is now amazing, bass is tight and vocals pop. i stream my music via Tidal and love MQA - thru a LUMIN T2. This replaced my LUMIN D1 just 6 months ago. The Krell and the Maggie’s revealed this upgrade to it’s fullest potential - IMO. Happy Listening.
