To do list for Matt00:
Treat room with natural diffraction and sound damping materials i.e.., soft furniture, drapes or wall hangings, plants, wood furniture, carpet etc..
Get MIT cabling and power cords.
Put 2 to 4 inch blocks of wood under your components.
Use about 1/2 lb brass weight on top of you 400xi.
Get a Sony XA5400ES for $1099 street price.
Play music for a few hundred hours.
Be happy for the rest of your life:O)
OR...Listen to an endless list of well intentioned advice from people who think they know what they are talking about.
I have owned your equipment in various settings and have spent the time and money to determine what works and what doesn't. The 400xi is warm, sweet, extended and dynamic. The Forests are dynamic, bold, extended and detailed. The Sony offers state of the art playback for RB and SACD's at an extremely attractive price plus it has XLR outputs to take advantage of the Krell's prefered input connection. The MIT cabling and PC's will allow all of it to come alive in an organic and natural manner. Anyone who tells you anything different is full of ...well, you get the idea.
Sincerely,
Dave
