Krell Duo 300 compared to Evo 302e or 402e?

I got a Duo 300 only problem is it came not working and has to be replaced. I'm glad to hear you are thinking it sounds musical and more like a class A amp than previous Krell. This is exactly what I'm looking for. Class A without all the energy drain and heat. I'll jump back on here and post some thoughts about mine when I get the new one.

I'm still waiting for my Duo 300 to be sorted out. Seems like they are having issues getting parts for these. I am supposed to be getting another new one but we are getting into the 6th week. I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your Duo 300. What have you compared it to?

I finally got my Duo 300 back (about 6 weeks ago) It's a great sounding amp. I think the other guy has the sound well described. I've only ever had a Krell s300i so I don't know how the Duo 300 compares to the likes of the 302e and such. I am running mine with Revel Salon 2s in a recording studio situation. One problem for me is the fans on the Duo 300 are often times kicking in. If I'm really blasting the music the fans can be unbelievably loud. This is pretty annoying at times. I asked Krell and they told me to plug it into a ethernet port which is kind of a pain for me as I don't have one near my studio. I would have to get a 100' cord and run it through a wall but I may do that to see if there is something wrong with my Duo 300 that the fan comes on so loud. It's a well made amp just a basic black box but good quality, the binding posts are nice they tighten easily they are the best I've ever used. The sound of the Duo 300 is very nice and nothing to complain about as far as sound goes I would just warn of the whole fan noise thing. Who knows maybe it's possible to set the fans to run less. I would be Ok with a little more heat and less fan noise.

So if an amp can put out 100+ amp peak output then how does a typical 20 amp circuit respond to something like that?
