Look, I'm sure most of you guys haven't even begun to have owned and lived with as much world class gear as I have, so let's stop the nonsense. I've had great all tube setups, 50/50 kits and every other possible combination imaginable. The Eidolons are fantastic and do mate well with tubes. They also sound amazing with solid state when properly setup. I know Krell well, I've owned a ton of it along with many other fine pieces of equipment. Krell amplification can produce one of the most realistic presentations available "if" properly mated and cabled. In fact, I recall a visit to my dealer when he was demoing the WP5.1's from wilson audio. The amps we used were an ARC VT200 with Ref 2 MKII preamp and a Krell FPB 600....they were virtually indistinguishable from each other. The Avalons and Spectral gear also sound great together. Both technologies can yield involving results. The joy some of you seem to obtain from the degradation of a particular brand or technology is more than juvenile, it's ignorant. Then again, what many so called audiophiles pass off as a listening session often brings into question their frame of reference and hearing prowess.
