Default Any opinions?

I'm searching for a suitable replacement bass amplifier for my Infinity RS1b loudspeakers. I've narrowed it down to either the Krell Evo 302e or the Bryston 4Bsst2.
Would prefer an Evo 402e but its way out of my price range (I'm in the UK). Both reproduce bass very well but apart from the extra wattage do you think the Krell would be substantially better for bass to justify its elevated price?

In an audiophile system (not home theater), some believe that the sub amp should be the same or from the same product family as the main speaker amp.

Infinty always voiced thier amps with Audio Research amps. You could look for a 2nd hand ARC Ref 150 which will have plenty of power. Even the Ref 75 is no slouch
