I had the showcase and kav 2250 on 803s and then upgraded to the hts 7.1. Quite a difference for stereo. The HTS 7.1 is definitely known for it's analog bypass, and with a good source it can really shine. It really is far ahead of the showcase and is dirt cheap used.
Krell processor up grade for audio stereo .
I have a HT system with Krell Showcase processor and would like to up grade for a better audio (stereo only).
I'm considering three options for the pre amp:
- up grade to another processor as Krell S1000;
- keep the Showcase and add the preamp Krell KAV 280p connected to the processor;
- keep the Showcase and add a top preamp as Krell Evolution 222 or similar;
I'm also considering to buy a high end CD player and change the interconnect cables to XLR.
The amps are Krell 2 x KAV 2250 (front) and KAV 3250 (surround). The front speakers are BW 803.
Is there really a considerable difference for audio stereo among these theree options ?
Thanks,
