hi emorrisiv,
i spent enough on the pc's to nicely compliment my electronics, and not enough on the pc's to either adversely impact my lifestyle, or impede such things as my charitable endeavors. as for the krell; the sale of my previous amp and preamp covered a substantial percentage of the cost incurred by the krell. additionally, purchasing an entry level krell integrated amp manufactured in china is not all that expensive in the greater scheme of things...and that truly is nice.
ps all, i have given the audience speaker cables more time to burn in, on the recommendation of terry from audience, and i could not be happier with the results.
