Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions
Oddiofyl we never trashed Krell, if you actually read any of our posts you would see that only after hearing Krell at the Capitol Audio Fest and only with the recent XD mods did we have any interest in Krell at all.The setup of Krell 300 XD two at... 
Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions
Oddiofyl first of all people on this forum can purchase from whomever they wish, which includes both us and other Krell dealers.Most of the dealers who sell Krell would welcome any assistance in promoting the line, they are coming back from a dark...

Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!!
You need way more transparent loudspeakers especially for low volume listening. Vandy 2Ci are not good for this. The Vandy 2ci is a lovely for the money loudspeaker they have a distincly warm tonal balance and use a good but not state of the art t... 
Which would you choose; Pass 250.8, arc 75SE or luxman m900u?
Roxy would need to know more about the system, we are Dali dealers with the Epicon 8 on display. The speakers tend to be on the warm side so you need to be careful in system matching or you will make the Epicon’s sound way too boring by losing too... 
NAS / media server / streaming newbie
You don't need anything to stream Tidal it is built in to the Marantz piece.You also don't need a ripper, your collection is pretty small, you have a few options:1: send your CD's to a commercial ripping service and for .80cents to $1.10 you can h...

Frank you should be in for a treat the new XD version of the amplifiers has an organic quality that is very unlike most solid state amplifiers the sound just flows, the best example of this is that strings and piano keys have a glowing roundness t... 
good hifi store in Bay Area
You should have no problem finding a good store in the Bay area.It is doubtful a Magnolia would sell the Marantz higher end products but I am sure they could specially order it.We just got in the Krell K300i intergrated you may want to check that ... 
I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience !
Some of you guys miss the pont of our posts which is to counter some of the ridiculous statements that people make. There is no best of anything at any price point, there are Vandy fans, Wilson fans, Magico, Rahido, Rockport fans which is the best... 
Pass Labs X250.8 or MC452 ?
Browdt, really the best in that price class? What a ridiculous statement.Pass Labs are very good amplifiers, if you check the thread on Coda amplifiers, the new Coda 8 Series Stereo was compared to a pair of $14k Pass Labs Mono blocks and found to... 
Pass Labs X250.8 or MC452 ?
HK fan why would you say that the JC 1 is a better match then the Pass 250 did you compare the two? Both amplifiers should be able to drive the 10T to a good volume level both amps tend to be a bit on the warm side. We had JC 1 on our sales floor ...
