Your reviews are getting better and writing style more clear.

I liked your comparison (which is important to give us perspective) to the Opera which I am waiting patiently for.

Thanks, as always, for your genuine enthusiasm.

No, the Apache was definitely competitive to the Krell. Different sounding, though. The Apache is slightly warmer sounding. However, my B&W N800's are slightly warm of neutral, as is my Sunfire power amp, so it wasn't an ideal match for me. Just the ticket for a slightly lean rig, though.

Thanks! Working on a couple new reviews, trying to make them more thorough.

Just found this. Would loved to have seen this next to the Beta 22 for comparison.
