What amplifiers should I have for Dyn Temptation.

Instead of Krell 400cx, Someone offers Krell 350mcx mono blocks.

Krell 400cx: USD6,250
Krell 350mxc: USD7,150

What should I go for?

Krell 400cx vs. Krell 350mcx?
BAT VK-31SE ve. BAT VK-51SE vs. BAT VK-52SE?

My audio room is not big. It's 500cm * 600 cm. And I searched out several amplifiers. (Power amp considered before pre)

1. Mcintosh MC2301 mono pair
2. Audio Research VT200mkii
3. Krell 400cx
4. Mcintosh MC240 (I owned for my Bookself, Totem Mani2 Signature)

Those are what I can get easily around me.

Thanks.

Thanks, Marakanetz

How about the Pass labs XA100.5 mono blocks? Audio Research VTM200 is candidate as well.

But as you recommend, I plan to go to Krell 400cx.
Can you recommend preamp for that?

For preamp, if I take Krell 400cx,

1. Audio Research Ref. 3
2. BAT 51SE
3. Krell KCT

and please counsel about Pass XA100.5 and AR VTM200 monos as well.

Thanks.

For power, Pass labs 250.5 considered as well
