MC402 vs FPB 300cx

Anyone have any insight here...These are two amps I am considering going for, but have a little concern leaving Krell. I have read alot on both, most of the information on the FPB I am familiar, and I am familiar with the Krell sound. The Mc402 however seems to get some commentary in the Bass area, lackthereof. I love the bass slam of my Krell, and I love the detail of it. Is MAC way off in terms of sound signature? Does the 402 give slam, or does it roll?

Thanks for any insight anyone has.

I guess the question remains are there others out there that compete with the Krell sound? Plinius maybe??

If you find Mac very relaxed in its presentation, you would find Plinius even more relaxed. Seems like the Krell FPB will suit your listening preferences in driving your B&W's. Great combination in your case.

offended Mac owners vs. offended Krell owner

Both will sound great in their respective setups of different environments ultimately based on the listener's ears and preferences.

Jc, I believe the description by Hassel you have quoted was made when the unit is not broken-in yet.
