Krell Vanguard Integrated vs Bryston B135


Krell Vanguard Integrated vs Bryston B135.


Both are available for about the same price in the SALE page.

I use an Aerial 5 and Marantz CD63ii. I want to replace my ADCOM GFA- 555ii/GTP-500 combo

Will either of these be a solid step up from the ADCOM combo and if so...which sounds better?


Thanks.

Total agreement with dave_b, the Vanguard is an exceptional sounding unit.  Certainly Krell's best sounding integrated.  It takes a lot of money in separates to best it.
hooo, my beloved vanguard..I’ve been around a lot in this expensive audio-hobby and I can say that it is an excellent integrated if you don’t want to get involved with so many devices in your system.
with my Vanguard i must accept that in many cases it sounds better than others pre-powers setups.
It is very sensitive to the line cable. surprisingly I like how it sounds with the pc cable it brings. (after trying some 500-1000 dollar cables, transparent, bla bla bla)
@Matias1979. Same story with me and the Vanguard.  I would strongly suggest you try Anticables power cable...it is the only one that really let the Krell soar clearly and dynamically!
