High power integrated suggestions please.

Just released is the new Calaf Integrated in the Forbidden City line from Consonance. 200 watts into 8 ohms 400 into 4 ohms with the first 40 watts Class A and a pair of 6922's in the preamp stage. Retail is around $3,300
and it comes in both black and silver chasis with either black or red faceplate. I've heard it and damn if it don't sound killer. I've dumped a lot more into my system then this piece costs and I don't know if I should be happy that someone has made it or pissed that I wasted so much $$$ already.

You'll be hearing a lot about this piece.

I wonder people hate Krell because their sound quality or because they are not inexpensive.

213 well perhaps if I heard the very system you have listened to Krell in I might agree with you. As many know I am a proponent of the system and not the component that makes the sound. All I know is that my Krell set up is every bit enjoyable as my small cj all tube setup, although very different, but very musical.

I would be interested to know the context that your experiences are based on.

Very interesting thread as I am looking to upgrade from my Classe CP50 preamp/Odyssey Stratos Power amp to an integrated amp. I have been looking at either the Krell 400i or one of the non-tubed Musical Fidelity units to drive my VR4jrs. Anyone have comments about these combination?
Thanks

The sound of that 200 watt Consonance Calaf integrated may be great and probably is, but that has to be the most butt-ugly integrated I've ever seen!
