Krell KSA 300S or FPB 300?


Hello all on a-gon,

I'm looking to get into some Krell amplification. Right now I'm considering the 2 amps above. I would like to get some of your expert opinions as to which ya'll prefer and which you would recommend. I would also like to hear why you prefer & recommend your choices.

I'll provide some of our associated equipment without getting overly detailed...

Amplifiers: Musical Fidelity KW500 (Selling) & Legacy-Audio Monoblocs
Speakers: Infinity Prelude MTS' & Legacy-Audio Focus
Digital: Esoteric DV-60 & Marantz BD8002
Analog: TNT IV with mucho upgrades
Phono: X-Ono
Preamp: Legacy-Audio NexStep. Preamp replacing the NexStep: Krell Audio/Video Standard from a super fine fellow a-goner. Greg, thank you again for the AWESOME Krell!

So there's the condensed version of our equipment.

As far as musical taste... my wife and I enjoy the following. In no particular order...

Rock
Blues
Big Band
We'll... actually we like just about all genres except OPERA!!!
We also like our music as low as background and all the way up to concert levels whilst enjoying Several-Frosty-Beverages.

Oh wise one's... please grace me with your honest opinions.

I hope that gives you's guy's enough info to make a choice/recommendation.
If any other information may help you with your recommends please let me know.

Thanks,

Skip

I have the best of both worlds. I have both ot these amps. I use the KSA for the bass and the FPB for the mid/highs. (I use the KBX to divide the signal)
Any questions, just ask.

Hello

I have Apogee Full range 

Do you think Krell 300s would be a good match for these hungry speaker? I have pass labs 600.5 on mid/high

The bass panel has 1.7 ohm Impedance.

 

Thanks

Back in the day, the only amps recommended for driving Apogee speakers were either Krell or Threshold.  Should not be a problem for the Krell 300s.
