Just got the CJ today! I find that for my tastes (organ and choral music) the CJ gives me the warmth yet the Krell has the sustaining power to give organ music enough punch and 'cahones'. I am hoping to finish the system with a Magnum Dynalab Tuner, a better tape deck and a power conditioner.
Excellent choice of speakers,as I have the same exact pair.C.J. is an excellent choice for preamp with S.S. amp.Planty of Magnum Dynalabs on Audiogon,as I have on too with a GOLD faceplate.For now I would suggest getting the ADCOM ACE-515 power conditioner for now and when you come across more loot then get a better power conditioner.
