Did I make a mistake buying Krell?


I was in search of a nice integrated amp that I could keep around for a long time. I got a good deal on a Krell KAV-300i, so I made a command decision to buy it.

I haven't hooked it up yet but I'm second guessing if it was the right decision. My equipment that will be used with the Krell: EAD-2000 cdp and Klipsch KLF-20 & Chorus II speakers (99db & 101db sensitivity respectively). The Klipsch speaker crossovers have upgraded resistors and caps and I can honestly say they don't sound bright and forward anymore. I would describe the sound right now as much warmer and alot less forward than before.

My question to you folks is:
1. Is Krell a good match for my existing set up?
2. What is the Krell sound?
3. If Krell isn't a good match, what would be better in the $1000-$1500 used range?

Thanks,
Mike

The Krell should work fine with what you have. Nearly every time a person buys something they wonder if they're doing the right thing. No one can answer that question but you. Put it in the system and listen to your favorite music. If you like how it sounds, then you did the right thing.
Most Krells are neutral...sometimes not a good thing with digital, ie...what goes in, comes out! BTW, I own Krell and like it a lot...not sure I would own it with Klipsch though?

Hook it up and have a listen?

I have always wanted to try Krell but called Krell and they said it would be the kiss of death to use with my horn loaded speakers, not a good match!
