Krell KAV-400xi or Bryston B100 SST ?

Ok, thanks Lush ! Have you listened to them both end did you after that end up with the Krell ?

I run a B100sst on a pair of GB1. I have not had the chance to listen to the Krell though I am vary happy with
the Bryston. I have tried many different set-ups(audio refinement/rega/music hall/anthem) on these
speakers and find the b100 works best. it has incredibe imagaging and controll on the lower frequencies, its really clean sounding. I also own a pair of OB1 and it has no problems running them.

Thanks a lot Shmoo ! Thats the suger pappa likes !!!

I have the B100DA and Totem Forest's. Shmoo's observations coincide with mine. To add the DAC option is fantastic.

I have to agree with Bobgates. I owned the 400xi and love every minutes of it. I have been out of the "hi-end " hobby for a few years and trying to make a come back. My first piece is the 400xi. Yeah, it is a different sound of Krell. I lived with kav250 system with love and hate but the 400xi at 55 to 60db sounds quite warm and musical and details. I do hate its cheapo single ended rca jacks.I guess Krell expect 400xi owner will use xlr connection to get the most out of it. I listed the 400xi for sale last couple day since my plan to acquire the Krell SACD standard and the B&W 805 has a financially set back. I am torn between the decision to sell it or to take it off the market. Never heard the Bryston but you should give the 400xi a try. Happy listenning.
