The Krell KSA and KMA series sounds better on practically all aspects relative to the Carver amps. But they will sound strained on a loud Apogee listening session as it was in the large demo room at the dealer's, where the Carver retains composure better - but then you could budget for a bigger Krell to match the power requirement.
That said, the Krells were never my favorite amps for Apogees, that was the two tiered tube amps from VTL and ARC.
