Thought however that the setup was not ideal for both 202 and Ref 5SE, with poweramp Dartzeel NHB 108, Lumen White speaker, source Copland.
Heard Phantom in another setup.

Good luck!
In that set up I don't know how to make ideas of how it sounds with Krell. To know what to chose you have to try each pre amp to the power amp you have in mind. And try CAST it will make a hole lot of difference. If you like it ore not is up to you, but you have to try it.
