Replacements for Dynaudio Floorstanders

I agree you are fighting an uphill battle trying to warm up a Krell. But you could try Avalon speakers. They have better tonality and a deeper soundstage than Dynaudio. The Ascendant is the model I'd look for but it will be a bit over your price point.

Replace the Krell, or at least try a different amp on the Dyna's first.

Yes, if you must change speakers Avalon is one that might offer up something different, though not necessarily warmer than the Dyns. Definitely audition them first and make sure you will want to live with them before buying in that they have a distinctive tonality and are not inexpensive.

I'm not sure that running those of the Krell though still will get you what you are after.

Not the response I was expecting, but considering everyone is saying the same thing...

Fact is, I originally wanted a Levinson 383 to run my Dyns. Hard to find one on here anymore. And most of you seem to recommend keeping the Dyns. I have to say it's a lot of speaker for the money, and of all the components I have I don't want to give them up. I guess I just chalked up the coolness more to the Dyns than to the Krell. Crap.

For what it's worth, I'm using balanced AQ King Cobra cables, stock power cables, and a Ridge Street Audio USB. Thanks again for all the advice.

Anyone have anything positive to say about the Mirage OMD-28? They can be had for $2700 new, and even though they're a very different direction from the Dyns, I'm entertaining the thought of giving them a go. Full range is very appealing.

Carbon 7 Speakers and NAD Combo C275/C165, if You are looking for the warm sound.
