What amp sounds most like Krell mcx monoblocks?

why not get another Krell mcx model and send it off to be renewed, cosmetially, and the total inside done, I did, The 700 cx stereo amp, with 2014 capacitors, done at krell factory, essentially, I have a brand new amp, sounds alot better than the original 2005 capacitor model they made for capacitors when manufactored, cheers.

Dasign, wow!, you got off easy, However, I had alot more done to the krell 700cx amp I have than what you did to your MCX amps, I now have $11,000.00 in my amp, this includes shipping across the country, I also had to send the amp back right now, Krell had to do some proccesor adjustments on the amp, the left channel was over heating, however, Krell paid all shipping this time, and all repairs free of charge, I paid $3,150.00 for the modds and renewl of my amp, but the cost of shipping brought the total of the cost higher to $3,800.00 give or take, you know, buying a brand new skidd, all the rachett straps, etc..., I bought my amp used in 2012 for $7,600.00 the begin with, so do the math, anyway, I have NO regrets, BTW, That is exactly why I wanted this amp, The last big Iron, most powerfull stereo amp krell has ever made, Happy listening.

also, I will add, krell promply got to the amp and fixed the problem in one day, and is under testing and sound check, and testing for heat, took a 4 days to get there, so they have had the amp a week now, talked to patrick, likly I will have it back before the end of the month or sooner, Bill Mckeagan pushed my amp to be done a.s.a.p., Thankyou Bill!

Yada, what happened was that krell asked me, Do you mind us inserting newer type capacitors?, I said, By no means, go for it, later their explaination was that the caps in the model 700cx that I have that were in the amp in 2005 were not available anymore, I do not know if that is true, The caps are 2014, likly what they use in their brand new models?, they do sound better to me, the most noticeable sound was the most incredible treble sound I have heard at any cost!, No grain, No brittlenes, very, very uncanny realistic and resolving, and the other parts of the sound etc... hope this helps.

Hi mtrot, If you can manage to take the top plate off your Krell 400cx with the amp unplugged, you can see some of the caps, if the top of the caps are bulgeing out at all, you need them, I still recommend getting it done though, just from pure age of our cx line, the new caps will bring you 15 to 20 years of joy, the best part about it, new caps would improve the sound no matter what, likly you would get the newer caps like mine that are better than the OEM caps from when they manufactured the amp, it will become modded like mine, make sure you get ALL the caps replaced, this means the biggest ones to, Krell does not manatory replace the big caps if not needed, I done all of mine, I had 16 of the big caps in my 700cx, you would have less, and your entire cap job cost would be substantialy cheaper than mine, I believe that my amp has two times the caps as your amps does, cheers.

Hi Yada, how did you find out what type of fuses are in your amp?, I am waiting on krell's response now as to what type, they are 250 volts 1-amp fuses for my Krell 700cx amp, I do not know if they are fast blow or slow blow, and I need four of them, I am going to get the synergestic research Reds, they are recommended as the Best out there currently, they are new to the market, cheers.
