I think that the Krell has a valid place in this world, because it made sense with the Apogee speakers. Unlike more recent monster amps, which have no such excuse.
I cannot think of a better device for inflicting Oasis and flutes upon humanity. I can only hope it is not a CD that presents both at the same time. That might trump even the legendary, and thankfully thus far unreleased, Tull and Wakeman LP of Mario Lanza Covers produced by Stock, Aiken and Waterman.
I’m struggling to narrow down the best bit of Amstrad kit as there are so many contenders, but in the end would probably go for the Studio 100 system because it has 4 VU meters.
