I'm using my Krell FPB amp to drive B&W 802's. About 4 years after I bought it, the amp sustained a failure and I had to send it back for service under warranty. It wasn't as big a deal as I thought because of the clever shipping carton Krell provides. It has an inner platform with handles on each end that facilitate two people lifting the unit into or out of the shipping carton. Krell recommended Ocean Air Transportation picked up and delivered the amp without incident. I paid the freight to Krell ($250 from WPB, Florida), they serviced the unit and paid shipping back. I took the opportunity to upgrade the FPB-600c to a FPB-700cx. Krell even changed the faceplate.
I've owned VTL tube amps and IMO this Krell sounds every bit as good - yet considerably more powerful. Based on the specs it should be able to drive any known speaker load without strain. This amp will remain the heart of my stereo system indefinitely.
If you're considering the 600c, you should consider a KCT preamp that will allow you to use the CAST interconnect between the preamp and amp. The combination of the KCT and CAST cables took my stereo system to another performance level.
