Well, that is one of the craziest things I have heard, not with tubes. I understand the Krell thing… many years ago. A friend of mine has an old Krell. There are lots of other really good options given your system. Your speakers are pretty inefficient… what is your budget? My first thought is a Audio Research Reference 160m or s. I think This would be an amazing combo. I used to have an ARC5se… before I upgraded to the 6SE. What kind of music and budget?
Audio research and krell
So here goes I have a arc ref 5se and I am using a krell Kas 300s and recently I noticed the krell was making some noise when powered off so I made some calls to krell and found out that the older krell amps are not recommended to be used with tubes I have never heard this .so has anyone here heard this .second question if that's the case what should I move to for a new amp I like the krell sound.
