Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular.

Or the 300 as well.
Will be using it to power a pair of Thiel 3.6s and Maggie 2.7QR some of the time. Currently have a Classe CA-200. I'm looking for more slam and I'm thinking the extra power will result in a less constricted soundstage (more open). Is my thinking right?

How about the CX series? 300CX or 400CX

Associated equipment: Wadia 850, ARC LS-2B, Cardas and PAD cables.

I had theClasse CA400 and once I got a krell fpb 600 ...well I sold the classe as its bass does not even come close and the headroom is amazing.
I have the fully recapped one for sale here as I own 2 and only need one.
The early models should be getting to the recap age as there original caps are not as good as the newer ones.
The cx is a subtle difference for thousands of dollars.
Good luck

One has to be careful when justifying the cost to performance difference.
I mean that going from a ksa 250 to a fpb600 is not only a big step in amp output but also a different sound.
But going from a fpb 600/c to a evolution 600 is not a apples n oranges of a difference but the cost factor soon kicks in.
