I would tend to agree with Ericbee - Krell did it probably for marketing purpose. Looking at the specifications the entire new line of amp have the same weights and dimensions as their predecessors, yet they are each 100W more powerful. Since the size of the heak sink stays the same, one may assume that the number of power transistors also remain the same. So how do they squeeze the extra power out ? Perhaps by adjusting the operating region ? The amp may sound better than the replaced version but I suspect the improvement may be subtle. As always, the only way to find out is to do a side-by-side comparison. Has anyone done that yet ?
Krell x-series, are ther any sonic benifits?
As many of you may already know, Krell is introducing thier new x-series amplifiers. Has any one had or taken the liberty of auditioning them? If so can you describe the sonic diferences between the FBP & X-series assuming there are any?
