| Krell EVO-1, FPB-750MCX or EVO-900 Those amps are absolutely some of the best ever made. Do not get rid of them, with that much power, you will only move sideways. I wish I had your dilemma! Stay put and enjoy those amps for life!or drive them to Krell, and have them looked at... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? BIC AMERICA DV-84 pair.

| McCormack REV B upgrades. Better than a new amp? If you planned on going the SMC upgrade path, buy a McCormack amp, and upgrade it. Heard lots of people buying non working McCormack amps for a steal, sending to be upgraded, your getting a new amp, which is of top tier quality and workmanship. | |

| First Watt SIT-3 preamp pairing advice 300W RMS !for any application. Those little baby amps look, sound nice, but will clip at every crescendo and drum solo! | |
| Are pass labs amps good match with vandersteen quattro speakers Those amps are top shelf! They will be just fine with those speakers. Don’t think a nice pair of pass monos would not fit in with any speaker. Great amplifiers!!! | |
