The Krell Chorus 7200 is the natural choice. The fans are extremely quiet and extraordinary sound. They got it right on these amps except for cosmetic design which looks fine in person and a matter of personal preference. I'm plenty happy with my Chorus 5200.
Looking for a 7 channel power amp to replace Krell showcase 7
I am using Krell showcase 7 now with good result in my HT. But the amp is like a grill during summer, it heats up my basement. There is also some reliability concern about this amp. I am looking for some 7 channel amp that is comparable to Krell to replace my showcase 7, which will not generate that much heat. I am using Krell S-1000 processor in HT setup with B&W 805 speakers. Balance input is preferred but not must. No fan in power amp please.
