Do you still have the SFCD? Shall I put up your name in the owners list? How good was the pairing?
Actually I like the Krell 300i. My friend is using it to drive a pair of ProAc Studio 125.
Owners of the Krells that I know said the same thing. They prefer the 300i to the 400xi. I tend to prefer the 300i too. Come to think of it, I don't really quite like Krell that much actually.. hahaha... prefer the European amp.
Hmm..... let me check this out.

It gonna be long shot before I am back into HiFi.. I am into smaller setup now. Head-Fing as we speak and woody cans are still my likings.

Outdoorxplorer,
Yes, I remembered your former system (Sonus Faber Concertino Domus with Audio Research source and amplification plus some exotic Zu powercords) well.  tongue.gif
There are two actions you could initiate; brood about it and do nothing OR pick up the gears you missed most and re-assemble a system around it/them.
At lot of non-owners of Sonus Faber loudspeaker thought that the solid wood panels of walnut or teak present on these loudspeakers is for aesthetic reason but the actual primary objective is to allow for resonant tuning of the cabinets as it is impossible to totally eliminate all resonances.

it will be safer to invest on a better amp and upgrade the speaker at later time rather than spending on a better set of speakers and can't be driven by the existing amp. $0.02 ..

There are certainly many ways to skin a cat as people usually say, and not that I am a cat hater  tongue.gif

I am sure it is a good match although I will tend to agree with others in the sense that it is an overkill as your Audio Research VSI55 is good enough even for Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento.

I remembered the spikes came with the original packing of concertino donus stands. You should find it in between the separators unless it is an opened box set.

I never go beyond 30% of the volume when I was having the 50 watt Audio Research VSi50 paired with SFCD... 25 watt tube amp is sufficient to move Toy...

Editted : PS :  of course, the audio research is totally another story. that audio research is infact pretty impressive to me, or i could even said i admire what an AR can do. if runemastertan is talking about an audio research amp to match a toy tower. i will say "go ahead, fast fast grab it. it won't make u regret".

LOL.... Thanks for inserting the qualification which I had missed out. Audio Research is another class of amplification which shouldn't be compared with consumer grade solid state amp.... I missed my previous setup though.. Wish to have extra cash to bring back the memories.

I still remember well the ARC VSi55 was a warm, fast and full of dynamics when paired with the SFCD... of course the ARC CD3 did play its roll too... I wonder how it will be if the source is just a simple SqueezeBox Classic 3 and MHDT Havana as the source...
