Avalon Eidolon and Krell, good match or not?

I used the Reference One with VT200 during the 1st year of ownership of the Eidolons. I kept the reference one until last year. Dumped the VT200 within 9 months.
The VT200 is indeed up there in the league of Krell in terms of non-musicality.
( I had a Krell KSA100S (1994-1995) and then a KSA300S (1995-1999). I had Ascents back then. And back then I was after Hi Fi - the ultimate resolution and I was deaf to music.

I don't know if mine is bigger but that's irrelevant and only a concern if you're insecure about yours.

What matters is I've owned more equipment than you've heard.

Thanks.

Have a nice holiday guys...obviously your happy with your gear and sense of musicality. Funny though, if in fact some of you have attended a great music hall, that your sense of what sounds real is so different. Anyway, enjoy and I hope you get out and hear some live music close up...maybe you'll come around yet!

Interestingly I almost wrote the same response Dave_b posted, I have been a regular attendee of th concerts @ Davis in SF and Herbst theater for many years.

I have experience seating @ different sections but the sound that I heard in those events in my opinion is a far cry from what Krell or Audio Research VT200 can do.

Live sound is impossible to recreate fully at home. Only certain aspects of the concert experience and at best the general gestalt can be purchased for at will consumption. I have heard many an attempt utlizing various grades and technologies of audio equipment; some do certain music well and fail at another i.e..jazz vs classical. The sense of aliveness and clarity I get with my system excites me...recently I have achieved a synergy that adds smoothness and defintion along with great tonal shadings and expression via new tweaks and cable changes. I am very happy:)
