a research or krell pre amp for krell ksa-150 amp?

I have Krell ksa-250 and use a Bent audio passive (transformer volume control) as pre. You would have to spend big $$$ to do better. Has rca/xlr in and out and runs about $1200 new from bentaudio.com, they will let you try one if you want. The guy to talk to is John Chapman and he's a great guy. My Krell is great with this unit, huge soundstage, great slam and midrange to die for.

Drrdiamond, so what are you trying to say, his ksa-150 is an old piece of crap. He asked about a pre to use with his ksa-150 and you tell him all the newer krells just blow the doors off his. For one thing that is not true at all, as a matter of fact the old ksa-150 sounds much better than many a krell that came after it. As a matter of fact, most of the reason that krell got a bad rep. for being brite and lifeless came from the amps that came after his ksa-150. The new krell line sound very good and its about time because none of the krells made between the ksa-150 and the new line will smoke his.
