Krell Amps/preamp listeing levels -- room size


What are some of your experiences using Krell electronics -- size of amps (Watts), type of speakers, room size and listening at say average volume of 75 - 85 db. What are some of the best combos out there and why. Remember listening @ 75 db avg whether its a 100watt amp or a 900 watt amp or a 30 x 40 ft room or a 12 x 15 ft room, rock classical, anything avg 75 to 85 dbs.
Lets talk people! no ifs -- list your stuff and tell us why. Old stuff and new stuff. Have some fun. Keep it simple and to the point.

KPS-28C, FBP-200C, KCT, Krell Lat-2s
Sounds nice and full at around 60 db and above (higher the better) I have never maxed out my amp! Low level listening is not the greatest -- sounds thin! (KCT volume knob (0 to 150) -- 25 is good -- 55 is loud -- 80db to 90+ db) (Room size 15 x 20)

I had a KSA250 and FPB700cx in a 13x22 and loved the bass in the 250 but the heat/hydro without a cable even hooked up was not for me.The 700 had thin bass and that was a huge letdown for me.I donnot mind heat/hydro when 110db is flowing through the room but not 12amps/1440watts at idle.I used a HTS 7.1/SACD Standard combo with the amps with great results.
Hi Scoutdog
I like to share a good set of songs ,say 6-7 in a row,and build up from a nice mellow start(to adapt to the volume/soundstage/dynamics) and as each new song comes in the volume increases slowly to build to a great finish to end the set.I have found one brand(Krell) that actually gives me a great bass.I just found that the KSA had a better bass for my likings.Even at high clean volumes for a great finish to a set,the 700 just board me.It did what I had read in the past...Fatigued me.And for the cost I thought I would try a KSA300s,so I have put in a wanted ad for one.
I will say that the 700 will find your speakers limits if you want to know it...Again this is for a set of music,not a all night concert at 120db.
