Without that info I can say that you should have speakers that are sweet and rich with those amps as they are bright and then. The Krell is the brightest of both of them and tends to be grainy. If you have speakers that are dull and lack control in the bass they would work well though.

Auditioned an XA160 but it had trouble bringing out the bass on the Eidolons. The Pass was wonderfully sweet however through an Eggleston Andra.

Avalon's are ruthless with detail and will show off the hard sound the Krell has. Look at the Pass or better yet some big tubes like VTL 750's or the like. (LAMM) In solid state amps look at Gryphon, Essence, Coda, or any lush solid state amp.
