Avalon Eidolon and Krell, good match or not?

I have Krell 700cx and BW 802D. I was wondering if going to the Eidolon is a good upgrade? Thx.

The 700cx will drive anything well but must be mated appropriately with a musical front end and preamp...garbage in/garbage out! The 802D speakers are a forward sounding, overdamped speaker with little expression. Undoubtedly, the Avalon speakers will be an improvement in a well tuned system.

Was pretty good, great bass. They did sound much better using a MF kilowatt amp-preamp. The depth of image was crazy deep....One of my friends owned this system I have listened to it many many times helped set it up. So almost as familar as if I owned them. I would say a BIG step up from BW. But to be fair I should add Iam not a fan of BW.
