Matrix S2 have protection to keep from over blowing hence their higher power rating but muddier sound compared to s3. Look for S3 which have no protection, cleaner path /better sound and assume responsible individuals.
Krell - which version did you have ? No problem with mine using two classe 300 amps ?
Put S3 on sound anchor stands along with the b&w high pass alignment filter and you will never need another speaker.
But warning they need alot of space like any great speaker to breathe. If you dont have the space to give them a few feet all around I would think again about it.
I listen to mine in nearfield. They are 6 feet from front wall and 8 feet from sides. I sit 7 feet away from them.
Cheers.
