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 midrange is much faster and more detailed. Imaging also improves. IMHO Avalon tend to match better with warmer electronics.

While the Krell amps did there part, credit goes to Sound by Singer for the total setup. I still think back to that demonstration time.

They are also amp friendly. The Krell CX amps are a big step ahead for Krell and they would sound awesome with the Eidolon's. I would never compare the B&W with the Avalons. It would be like comparing a Porsche to a mustang.

Even a $500 tube amp or a cheap counterpoint SA100 will beat the Krell driving Eidolons.
