Although I have never heard a B&W speaker that I didn't find very sterile except the old 801's. I owned the 700C for quite a while and it is a great amp. It's very smooth and powerful with ability to handle any speaker with aplomb. I ended up selling it because someone offered me an amount hard to refuse.
Replacing my Krell FPB 600 amp with a tube amp
Im thinking of replacing my Krell FPB 600 amp with tube amp . I really love the power and bass slam of the Krell FPB 600.Could i possibly find that with a tube amp? I was thinking of the ARC Ref 250 mono blocks. I am also using an ARC Ref 6 preamp. The only thing i can think of with this much power and bass slam would be the ARC Ref 750se. Any other suggestions and how would the ARC Ref 250s as compared to the Krell FPB 600.
