@mattmiller The new Krell stuff is nothing like that. I had all McIntosh amps at one time. MC501(3) and MC252(2). McIntosh changed its sound. Krell did too. I think the XD Krell stuff is not as bright as the newest McIntosh stuff but with more dyn...

@piebaldpython I owned 20k of electronics from California Audio Labs when they went under 20 years ago. With the help of the former product director, I was able to set up an outside repair service. It took some work but it happened. Getting the sc...

@soix I was just seeking recommendations for myself. No insults intended. I MAY SWITCH. You are helping me greatly. I have just taken over leadership of of an organization. The previous leadership poorly managed the finances, and I am tasked with ...

@soix . Anyone would be upset after what has happened. However, it's not Krell, It's the legal process. The owner passed so there was no, "them" to let their customers twist in the wind. Just curious as what brand you are moving? The new Krell XD...

@hollywoodamps No. Allegedly the designer Dave Goodman is no longer with the company. Rhondi had one son who owns a car repair shop in Florida. Things can still turn out well but it may be a lot different. The Mark Levinson brand still makes great... 
Besides Krell XD amps, who makes "smart home" friendly amp, IP control, Telenet, RS232?
I’ll add EMM Labs amplifiers to the list. "Each MTRX2 amplifier has a USB connection and an RS232 connection for system updates and for diagnostics and real-time monitoring. These ports allow for remote control, monitoring and real-time diagnostic...

@ghdprentice I am not sure about noise for two channel amps. I can tell you that with both the amps I have owned that were multiple channel and had ability to mute unused channels, there is a marked difference in sound quality in two channel mode....

Good one! Looks like Aragon too. I've owned many Aragon amps. Yet to hear the newest models.  
which should I get Rogue RP5, Hegel P20, Belles Aria Preamp, Audible Illusion Modulus 3B
There is no way I would own Audible Illusions. Great sound but getting it repaired is s hassle and that's putting it mildly.   
5.1+ Processors with Best DACs/Preamps?
@ajant I find the review of the Benchmark DEAD ON. That's excactly what I observed.  
5.1+ Processors with Best DACs/Preamps?
@ajant The Six Shooter was a bridge for Theta to create an analog bypass because the Casablanca didn't have one. Yes, 20 Vrms balanced Class A on all their stuff. No refurbished stuff. Look, I know this suggestion is "far out there." It's just on... 
5.1+ Processors with Best DACs/Preamps?
Just make sure the Parasound P7 can output the voltage you need. Kal Rubinson had one so he may have an idea. I couldn’t find that information. Last thing on the Theta stuff, it is class A, fully balanced and 20 Vrms max output. It is just a lot o...
