Just an update on my situation. I am sending my Krell S550i back to Krell for repair. They have some mods that should help with overheating. I just purchased a separate amp to push the DWM bass panel itself (Son of Ampzilla). This will take my speaker load back to 4 ohm. Once this is done - I will let you all know how it sounds - my goal is to keep my much improved bass response at minimal investment.
Used Krell S 550i - $3,000
Son of Ampzilla - $2,800
Maggie 1.7i - $2,200
Maggie DWM - $800
wish me luck - I have heard amazing detail out of this system since adding the DWM - just cannot run it hard for over 15 minutes due to the “overheating issue”.
