The 5802 is the only decent amp they ever made. Is that the one you have? Nelson Pass was contracted to do the design and it shows.
No Krell power now but I currently use their KPS-20i and it is great. I would love to get a used FPB600 someday. I've heard that amp in the past and it is fantastic.
Yeah, I won't be mixing on the M-L's but they are great for listening to finished, quality recordings. Their soundstaging and air is incredible.
Here's the link to the manual for the NHT 1.5's....

I think I will try the NHT 1.5's, 5802 and Aragon 18K MkII and see how that sounds. I have a feeling it's going to be pretty good.

To me they are a little too nice and not analytical enough (for tracking and mixing I mean. For after the fact listening they are great). If I was looking for a chance to get some 802Ds, this would be it. But you could always use the ADcom if you got some ProAcs or something similar and compare a different amp when you can and make up your own mind. Adcoms to me are like Peavey. Not everybody likes them but almost everybody has used them and agrees that to get 10% better it costs you 100% more. I like the power in my A7s but not sure how they would compare to real hi-fi gear.
