Krell / Mcintosh / Pass For Dynaudios


Hi all,

No way of comparing these next to one another. looking at posibly up grading my amps to make my C5 sing there hearts out. Basically looking at Mcintosh (MC402 or MC501), Krell (no idea of model - sugestions appreciated) or Pass X250.5.

Are the Mcintosh class A?

Will purchase second hand which ever way I go.

Cheers

Well I don't know about Pass and Mac sstate but in my humble opinion regardless of preconcieved ideas lurking around here I think that the latest Krell EVO gear is outstanding. Very smooth and transparent with excellent musicality. I strongly prefer my Krell EVO 302 amp(list $10500) to the Dart amp now priced somewhere over 20k. I owned the Dart for about a year and I find that it exceeds the Krell in no area that I can find. Also had the Mac MC275. Simply not in the same league. As always your MMV. Until you've heard the latest Krell in your home you shouldn't comment.
I'm using the Krell amp with Kharma 3.2's which most people not familiar with the latest Krell would think is a questionable match. It sounds really really good and I've owned an embarrassing amt. of gear over the years to include many big names. Consider that you can buy an as new Krell 402 on agon right now for under 8k. That's crazy imo.
