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.

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

The big Krell worked as good as any other solid state amps I have tried (and I have tried many of them, including $23k Lamm M1.2 monos). Having said that, the best sound I managed to get from Eidolons, was from a tube amp, not ss.
