both Krell and Boulder make incredible products. But from experience, in order for Krell to sound its best, you definitely have to use other Krell products that uses the Cast Cabling. It is truly remarkable with that connection. The downside is that some of the Krell products are not as reliable.. sure they can be fixed but damn, that’s a lot of weight to lug around. Even to George Meyers or to Krell directly. Shute to suffer outer shell scratches. Love the product though. My last Krell was the 402e Evolution. Believe it or not it gets hotter than my McIntosh MC2301 tube Monoblock amplifiers. I had many high end Krell amplifiers in the past. As for Boulder, the 2150 and the 2160 didn’t mend well with my speakers. I chose my speakers before my amplifiers. They sounded a bit thin and too bright on the top end with the Maxx 2’s. They do sound better with the Alex V speakers as the tweeter is much softer then the Maxx 2. The other is that they will suck a lot of power and really heat up your listening area. If spending that much money for my taste, I would go with in the future gryphon audio or Jeff Rowland. I loved the Jeff Rowland Monoblock I had in the past.
