Replace Krell Showcase Preamp mode with 280P?


Hello All,

I'm in the market for a 2ch preamp for my Krell 300cx and Proac Response 3.8 speakers.

Currently I'm using the Krell Showcase Pre/Pro in preamp mode for 2ch playback, but would like to incorporate a dedicated 2 channel preamp to gain some sonic improvement over the Showcase’s preamp mode. Theatre throughput would be a bonus, but not essential.

Currently I'm contemplating the Krell 280P, has anyone compared this 280P against the Showcase PrePro in preamp mode?

Thanks
ziffle

David you have a 2 channel preamp that retails for $3500 and a 7 chn preamp with video switching, onscreen display, dsp on board for 4k..Sounds like two totally different critters to me. And two different pieces of equipment directed towards two different customers with two different goals..I have sold both of these products in the past..They were intended by design and price, each to engage a different clientel..Tom
