I agonized b/w Kandid and Krystal. I had a budget though including a Lingo IV, new trampolin, etc - and because my preamp gives the warmth I like and my amp gives weight and heft - and my taste is so wide - I settled on the Krystal. I probably could have done better, but no complaints so far from rock to jazz to vocal to classical. Big improvement over my previous Benz Micro 2.0.
