Ayre preamps with Krell amps?

Anyone out there used or heard the Ayre preamps with the Krell amps? Thiel uses the K-5xe with a Krell FPB 700CX with good results. I was wondering if anyone else has heard these two together? Thanks for any help.

I love my resolution!!!

Very good together. When I was at Thiel a few weeks ago my wife and I listened for a couple hours to the Ayre K-5xe with the Krell evo 600 monoblocks and 3.7s. WOW!
