Rotel RA1070 vs Krell300il/Krell 400ui Intgr amps

I am currently using the rotel ra 1070 with a pair of Vienna Acoustic Beethovens. Am thinking of change to Krell due to seemingly passive/nuetral nature of speakers. Great speakers though they seem to need a more agressive source of presentation. Can anyone help/make suggestions? The Krell amps have been suggested,

Going to a Krell from Rotel isnt going to give you a more "agressive" presentation. That Rotel unit is better than its pricetag suggests. Like Sonus Faber, Vienna Acoustic speakers are going to give a very mellow laid back style of sound.

I'm not sure Krell is the best answer. Their integraded amps, especially, the 300i series is a little mellow to begin with, a little rolled-off up top. It has a nice sence of flow and presents music as a piece, but if you are looking for agressive it is not your answer. Try Bryston.

To followup on what Kchahoc said, Bryston is a good choice. Currently, they only offer the B60 integrated, which may be underpowered for some systems. I read somewhere that they are working on an integrated based on the 3B-SST. You may want to inqiry about that.
