I really like your review. First, because it eschews the usual 200 words on the bass, 200 words on the midrange and 200 words on the treble. The review actually speaks about music and the transcendant nature of music. And, of course, to your emotional reaction to how the gear honors the music. Most professional reviewers miss all of this.
On the other hand, in the real, dollars and cents, world very few people will be deciding between one amp and another that is more than twice the price. Most people feeding on this end of the food chain are on budgets. On the high end, they would be comparing the Krell to it's similarly priced competitors, and at the Rotel end to the Arcams and Cambridges of the world, with which it is fully competitive.
The rest of your advice seems spot on, and this review serves as a great guide to those who read it. Great going and great listening.
