Krell Evo 302 or Burmester 956 mk2

Cool.

I am neither German nor American, and I was not invloved in WW2. TO MY EARS AND HEART, I take a FULL Burmester system anytime! ;)

Having said that, if you like mix-&-match, SF speakers tend to match better with Krell.

It very funny to read a tread from the Major league of Audiogon member. If you have enough fortune to own
a Krell or a Burmester power amp just rejoice and enjoy
the music!!! Me i just receive a Free Yamaha M40 to load
my AR 3 and i'm very happy. Or course as you my goal is to build the best high-end possible system. But sometime we
cross the valley of pain and in that period music is good for the soul. Until i get again to the top of the hill i said
thank you to every one sharing is time and experience to us
where Krell and Burmester is still a dream...

Hi Meridian23, Yamaha is very good in my book, back in the 80's, I had a R-100 reciever, to this day, I have never heard a better sounding reciever at any cost!, A prime example of what I am saying is the dicovery of an ad in the music Direct catalog 15, newest one out,I was shocked to read and adore the Yamaha specs and cosmetics, Yamaha is not fooling around, The Yamaha cd-s3000 sacd player/dac $5,999.00, The Yamaha A-s3000 intergrated amplifier $6,999.00,, I bet this equipment would kick the crap out of some big name higher priced gear, you think?

dont argue with an American over 55, they're all complete morons.  they see everything as "team USA"..and the world map like it's 1985. everything slots into place according to that.  audiolabryrinth is just one of these dried up overly proud Americans that is stuck in the past.  I'm American, btw.  I have to put up with it everywhere I turn.  even if they've traveled it doesn't help. there's just something wrong with their brains.  it's probably television. 

btw, I'm had both Burmester and krell.  there is no real comparison.  Burmester is crystal clear music.  krell is hifi. it's just different.  and krell looks like trash.  it's Porsche vs mustang.  a mustang is a toy that goes fast.   you want really good American brands that can compete on the global stage?  Ayre and Boulder.  even then, Burmester's sound is so clear, it doesn't sound like hifi..and yes, to the earlier comment.  it's timeless. but the Ayre MX-R Twenty mono blocks are spooky good...
