Krell KAV-400xi or Bryston B100 SST ?

Thanks everyone !
It seems like Bryston is the way to go !

You really need to listen to both. I've got the Krell and really like it. I've not heard the Bryston.

But, it's your ears that need to decide.

Let us know what you end up with.

"I own the B100SST and have owned the 400xi - to my ears the Bryston was superior. And not by a small margin. Not that the 400xi is bad, but the Bryston sounded cleaner, punchier, took control of the lower frequencies in a way the Krell couldn't. There was a clear delineation of each note, a crispness that is typical of the Bryston sound."

I think that is why people like the Krell 400xi so much, because it doesn't have the typical flat sound that both Bryston and Krell are so famous for.

I really dont understand your point Lush.
Can you explain a bit more, please !

Many people think the 400xi is one of the most musical intergrated's Krell has come out with. The Bryston, while robust, still carries the Bryston sound. Some people may like or dislike the Bryston house sound (which is very much like the Krell house sound) I guess is that the Krell isn't like a normal Krell. I'd suggest you listen to both.
