Your Onkyo will be worth $20 in 5 years. The Krell can be sold for a couple of thou...
My Bryston is worth $1000 even after 15 years.
Dakkon:
I know someone who has a Krell FPB around $9000 and Bryston 14B $7000 and Cary V12 $4250. And he found the Bryston to be the most dynamic...he conducted a test using some equipment SPL, some other computer program with level recording...etc.etc... and he found the Bryston to have better dynamics and higher headroom in stadium sound levels. He uses his 14B for his main system and is selling both his Krell and Cary.
If you can snag a Krell at a price you are comfortable then by all means.
