Speakers that are matched well with Krell

I am looking for new speakers. My system is as follows. A Krell KRC-HR for a preamp, KAV250a for the amp, a KAV 300cd for my cd player, Nordost Red Dawn interconnects and Nordost Blue Heaven for my speaker wire. I am using Sonus Grand Piano speakers now. These speakers are from my dedicated home theater and I want to keep them there. Any opinions would be welcome.

B&W Nautilus series goes well with Krell.

A local dealer that used to sell Krell told me that B&W's mated very well with that brand of amp / preamp. The sound that i heard in their showroom with that combo was always pretty decent. That dealer ended up losing their Krell account due to territorial disputes though. They have since moved onto Classe', which does not mate near as well with the B&W's in my opinion. Sean

I have always been told (but never myself heard) that the the classic combo woth Krell is Apogee speakers and MIT cables. I can't really recall anyother group of manufactureres who are spoken togtehr as often as these three. Perhaps Bryston and Maggies but thats another thread discussion...
Best of luck I'm sure they sound quite nice with the Sonus Faber's
Also look at Dynaudio speakers and Cardas cables

At one time I had B&W801 MatrixIII's with a a Krell KRC-HR and Krell KSA-250 and then the FPB-300. Krell is one of the few amps that can control the 12inch woofer on the 801's. The sound was excellent. I now have the 650MC mono's, KPS-25sc running into the Wilson MAXX and love it even more because of the Wilson's dynamics top to bottom, more engaging detail and to my ears more musical than the older B&Ws. Can't comment on the Nautilus. By the way, Transparent and Krell work well together also.
