Darren right ow is that the Krell 400xi tells the truth. I need a more forgiving amp. I heard Cadence VA1 20w and the soundstage was way back and also the tone thick (heard them on Cadence Avita) Yes the Krell is forward enough. I need a forgiving and a warm amp. I have heard the Vincent monoblock

The day I received the SB I knew there was no going back. It's changed my listening habits entirely, and expanded my musical sense. This device in particular is easy to use, is customizeable, very attractive, is completely reliable, and worthwhile even if 90% of all music stations were shut down

Both units have tape in/outs with volume controls so my suggestion of using the tape loops will work. This is the method I use to X-connect my main system (Bryston/Rotel/energy) with the wifes secondary system (NAD/PSB). Good luck and have fun with it! ~A -- alZmtbr -
