Krell and McIntosh take different approaches. Thus, many people like one and not the other. If you feel like a change, give McIntosh a try. If you buy them used, Testsp is right - you can get nearly all your money back so there isn't much financial risk involved. Personally, I find the new McIntosh gear to be fantastic but I have heard some Krell tha I liked as well. Finding the right amp has a lot to do with your speakers. Good luck! Arthur
From Krell to McIntosh - Anyone?
Hi,
i am currently using Krell FPB 600c and Krell KPS 25sc, since i lean towards system synergy, i am looking at a complete/only McIntosh rig.
Mainly because my speakers sounds at their best with power amps with low damping factor.
The MC 501 and MC 1201 seems nice, but what are the trade and/ or trade offs - if dumping the Krell system?
Krell's sense of drama and viceral impact is something special, i wonder what happens if i am going McIntosh.
The MCD 201 seems to eliminate the need of a dedicated (stand alone) pre amp. It also does both cd and sacd (mp3) and is equiped with an analog volume control.
MCD 201 and the MC 501 or 1201.
Anyone done a compairson of these brands, able to explain?
Thanks
