Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular.

I had a FPB 600 for years and compare to latest SS, it's a bit grainy and dark but still a terrific amp. The only reason I sold it is to try something different. It sounds great with everything include 100 db Avantgardes. You can hear and feel stability of the sound.

When I play the track The Four Seasons, never achieve the level of dynamic swings since the Krell shivering my whole body. I'm in the camp never too much power and dynamics is what make music fun for me.

FWIW, I found network cables such as MIT worked best with all my Krell amps. I only use tube preamps with them and XLR offers the best SQ.

I hear no grain on the FPB in my system and Knghifi that is why your sound was dark because of the MIT. I always hear this with MIT and the other company.

Probably your system is MUCH SUPERIOR to my pre Agon OLD system :-) I'm sure quality of associated components contributed to the graininess.

I demoed many cables and found either lacking bass or too bright. At the time top of line MIT worked best. I sold MITs after the Krell.
