    For me it was a matter of the Krell mids and highs are so clear and precise it had a major jump over the parasound (much warmer) sound. However the 1500a really pumps out the base so fast and Deep, the combo just created a synergy with the ADS L1590's. It still drops my jaw every time its playing! Mind you if I could only do 2 ch I'd take the Krell every day but remember the price difference between them!
