Does the S1200 take a couple seconds to lock in the signal when you pay a disc? This was an issue with some of the older Krell processors. I will be paring the S1200 with a Krell Evolution 403E for HT and some 2 channel music. |

You could toy with the Krell Processor. You will get more attack with the bass, and detailed highs. I would keep the mc amps. And I love the mx150. It sounds more refined. A mix may change things up. If you're looking at processors that range, I highly recommend the Theta Casablanca, for its sonic qualities similar to the Krell, but quieter and better refined... And it doesn't heat up, like the Mc. Probably even cooler than the MX150, or go one more "up" (cost and upgradability) and look at Datasat with capabilities of Dolby Atmos.
I also agree you already have a very good system, and speaker upgrades would be the direction I'd be heading given your situation. Aside from SF and Wilson, I'd look at Focal Utopias. Mc601s will complement the Maestro Utopias very well, and add a Viva Utopia. The Mc601s really handles the Maestro very well. That will give you superb highs and awesome Bass, without neglecting the mids. Or Legacy Audio from Springfield, super value for money speakers, check out the Aeris, and add a Marquis HD center. Those are all rounded speakers with fantastic detail and dynamism, and superb workmanship on wood. They've got everything right in sound, and service is top notch. I wouldn't recommend a full Krell electronic system for the level of SQ you are used to. No offense intended. They have a certain signature of sound that works for some, and cant help but think that have lost quite a bit of their footing. Sent from my iPhone using A.Aficionado |

Enit, not to speak for Bryan (the OP), but he has long since moved on to Wilson Sashas and a Mac C2300 preamp for 2 channel, which he is apparently loving. (He did ultimately keep the mx150, I believe).

No worries. I go back to my old posts occasionally and saw your response. I think you (and everyone else) were right on the money on where I needed to make changes to my system. The Sasha's and the C2300 sound great with my MC601's. I'm now considering things like cables and sources so it never ends! I appreciate everyone's input. Thank you!

I am just about to upgrade the EVO 600's & 403 to the e-type.

You have some good stuff. What is the rest of your system? I also have the 403E and I am pretty happy with it. Rich |

Never cared much for Krell gear. With the music I am listening to (Jazz/Classical) they were always to aggressive and could not reproduce the sensation of a live event.
