We did A/B with Sunfire Symphonic Reference Stereo Stack. My thumbs up was all the way towards Symphonic Reference combo(i.e. separates). I would doubt that this issue is very speaker match specific. Krell integrated in general is warm amplifier while I more tend to like more attack in performance. Speakers such as B&W CM or CDM ceries with high demand on definition and attack probably will be the best match. B&W N-series would require much more power than Krell integrated can provide.

Just not very "musical", with lots of SS "glare" & haze. I don't know what Krell is thinking--look elsewhere for nice sounding components.
