Primare I30 vs Krell KAV 400xi


I'm trying to decide between these two amps to power my Spendor S8e and Rega Apollo cd.
Has anyone experienced these amps good or bad?
Thanks in advance for your input.

a coin flip....primar sounds like vintage electrocompaniet, which is a good thing.
I've had a Krell KAV 400xi for about three years--that unit never fails to amaze me. It's been rock solid reliable too. I currently have it paired Thiel PCS speakers and am very happy with the setup.
Some 15 kilos is likely more suitable to deliver fairly 100Wpc (Primare I30) than wanna-be 200Wpc (Krell KAV-400xi).

200Wpc means at least healthy 22-25 kilos. Everything bellow is fake. Including that Krellito.
Zormi,

Are you really judging equipment based on weight rather than the actual sound quality of the units?

Andrew,

The Krell has a very healthy 200wpc. It has a clean sound with very authoratative bass. I'm not really a Krell fan, but this is one piece I would own.

I haven't heard the Primare, so I can't offer any comparisons?
