Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular.

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.

It was good for its time, but now we got the $12k Dan D'Agostino Master Power Classic Stereo amp. It should outperform the old Krells, at least most of them. We'll see what happens.

I just heard that driving some Avalon's - it's a different sound to the old Krells at least the FPB cast series. It is smoother on the top and more open sounding and resolving with slightly more body but it doesn't have the bass slam. There is more bass texture in its place. I think nothing I've heard has the bass slam and grunt of those old Krells.

Jwm (Jeff?), I was looking at your system thread and don't see the FPB 250m's. Did you acquire them recently? Also, did I read it right you live in Michigan (Oakland County)?
