should I lose m KRELL FPB 600 for the new KRELLS?

I have the itch to go monos with my new Salon2's.
Never had a problem with the FPB600 Stereo but not sure about the Evolutions and their costs?!?

I have loan of current EVO 600M and find they run as hot as an old KSA 200 when on song, but they are very good, and still marginally prefer balanced drive (Transparent MM2) to Transparent CAST connection. But then I always have. 600Ms are remarkable, one of the finest amplifiers made and so they should be at the cost , typically £26k the pair UK. They are solid state but in the best sense of the term and are virtually grainless and free of colour, yet very transparent, at last a true winner over my beloved FPB700cx!

I just went to the Evo line and I could tell you that I would never go back to the Krell older amps. The Evo line is more musical and warm in a way that makes the older amps sound harsh and bright. See if you could get away w/ an Evo 402 before you have to buy the Evo 600. I have Avalon Eidolon and I use a pair of Evo 600.
