The guys that make Pipe Dreams told me that they considered the Sunfire Signature to be the most well balanced amplifier available at anywhere near the price. They considered the big Krell's slightly superior in bass "slam" ( which they are ) while also stating that the Krell's offered slightly poorer / harsher performance in the mids and treble. In their opinion, the big Classe' amps lagged pretty far behind both the Krell's and Sunfire overall. As such, they said that they did not consider the Classe' line of amps as suitable for use as a full range amplifier for their speakers. These were the only three brands that "Dr. Craig" brought up during our conversation, so that is all that i can pass on... Sean
