I have an "acquaintance" that had tried Boulder, and many other names in the same category, and he now owns a Krell 402.

I have another "friend" who is very well aquatinted with McIntosh, Ayre, Boulder, etc..., and he now has a 402 with a 707 and a 505, as well as some other Krell amps for the surround channels and center, and he told me that in his opinion, there are very very few brands who offer anything that is comparable.

It's all about synergy. Krell builds very robust amps that take full control over a speaker but not every speaker goes with krell.
