I think it would be a mistake to not at least check out Krell Digital Vanguard. I think it has the features you want and based on a Krell Chorus amp I have in a second system it's not the brighter Krell of years past. Very musical. Also have a Krell Foundation which is a complicated unit and it operates beautifully and sounds great. I will admit that I was surprised at quality of sound. Chorus amp was equal of Pass 250.8 which I had on hand at same time. I have no motive in this discussion other than to see those great speakers get special treatment up front. Spearit Sound might send out a demo which would be well worth it or pick one up on this site at a low risk price. It won't disappoint IMO.
Post a Krell thread and see what turns up concerning the new generation.
