My friend, as much as I would like to agree with you here, (unfortunately) I can't...

Lets leave aside the Pre. The McCormack power amp was audibly distressed driving the Dyns. It lacked headroom, sounded compressed and had little depth.

It was simply outclassed by the Krell. And that too, by a BIG margin. BIG.

PS. I was also impressed by the Jolida. Very nice CD Player FB...
