Hi,
I am in the UK as well. I have the Krell 600s and tried an ARC Ref3 and Krell 202. The ARC was much as you would expect very detailed, relaxing, dynamic with a slightly softer bass but worked a treat with newer, dryer CDs. The 202 was really fast with very tight bass, and much sharper dynamics and explosive impact with good recordings. It is more truthful, which may not be good news. I went with the 202s as the addition of CAST and the more honest sound was ideal for my mainly rock/pop music. I can imagine a jazz and classical fan going with a Ref3 or Ref 5. Nice choice to have though.
