Thinking of getting a Krell FBP 600
Bob, I have B&W N801s and am currently driving them with Krell FPB600 amp, and they sound terrific together. Amp has no problem in handling N801s whatsoever. Also, FPB600 has a standby mode, so you don't need to leave it on like the older mode...

Krell 300CD - what DAC to add on?
I'm with Greys2k. If you like Krell, you might just want to trade up to their newer models with 24-bit DACs. I had a Krell KAV-250cd. I decided to upgrade, and got myself the Krell KPS-28c for $3,500 used. Needless to say, it is a significant impr...
