Classic Integrated Question: Krell or Classe?

AYRE is a sonic match for Vandy speakers. The Creek Destiny is  no slouch. Those two integratedd amps are close in power output. It is come down to a matter of taste. Consider an AYRE AX-5 for even more power output to drive those Vandy 2CE Signature loudspeakers.

Happy Listening!

I had a Classe SSP-30 w/a Vandersteen surround setup. 2CEs, V-CC1 center and VSM rear speakers. It was great match.

Long time ago had a krell kav 400, ' with Cremona auditors and Cards cables  aldo it has lots of power it is very ’gray sounding
Had an opportunity to hear Ayre integrated as well, great match with SF Cremona auditor M speakers (together with Ayre cd player) but it has only 60w so it could be a problem with demanding speakers (did not hear the V.)
I would say that overall Ayre is ’better’ sounding amp

@alexatpos 

agree

ayre >> krell for sq, all day, any day of the week

maybe krell has more solid deep bass... that would be only area where krell may be superior...
