Anybody heard Krell SACD mkIII?
I just sent my SACD MKIII in for repair. My unit was purchased last spring and sounds like the mkII units. Hopefully mine will get an upgrade..I asked Patrick at krell about it..I am waiting for an answer!! 
Krell Service
I have just sent my SACD standard back for repair. I will let you know how it goes. My experience with Krell so far has been excellent, so I expect a quality and prompt repair job! If for any reason they are delayed, I'm sure it is under extraordi... 
Preamp to mate with Krell KSA-50 mkII
Krell never made a 500i and a system is only as good as it's weakest link so try before you buy if possible and don't forget the power cord issue..transparent MM reference PC's are magical!! 
Preamp to mate with Krell KSA-50 mkII
You could do well with an ARC LS25 used..the 6922 tubes were far more musical than he newer 6H30 designs. I owned the LS25 and Ref's 2 and 3..my favorite was the LS25!! 
What's Toshiba replacing the Toshiba HD XA2 with?
HD is dead in case you didn't hear! 
Preamp to mate with Krell KSA-50 mkII
I would re-think the clutter and get a krell 400xi mated to an SACD or other balanced player connected with musical cables like MIT shotgun or magnum (HarmTech is also one of my favorites). Use a great power cord from Transparent or MIT as well. T... 
Looking for speakers with soundstage depth
Totem Forest's throw a state of the art soundstage without tow in (which kills dynamics)and they love solid state. Bi-wiring is suggested. They are gorgeous sounding and extremely transparent with low level and high level dynamic capabillities. Pl... 
audio reseach ref 3 or krell KTC...?
Microstrip, ckoffend...not better but slightly more laid back and less aggressive in the upper midrange. Krell monoblocks have always had a bit more hardness and leanness in the upper mids compared to the stereo units! By the way, the FPB300 will ... 
audio reseach ref 3 or krell KTC...?
Ckoffend, get the upgrade done to 400cx..that was my favorite FPB amp of all (better than monoblocks). Krell ended their golden age of audio design with the FPB cx series amps! You must get a Transparent MM reference power cord for it..you will cr... 
audio reseach ref 3 or krell KTC...?
Is it a 300cx or just c? 
audio reseach ref 3 or krell KTC...?
ckoffend, I have used an LS25, RefII and RefIII with Krell 600, 400 and evo 402 amps..no problems. Caps will kill tone color, soundstage and transparency. 
Suggestion on interconnects
Jeq, which MIT cables are you trying? 
audio reseach ref 3 or krell KTC...?
Have had many ARC/Krell combos and never a problem...the caps will kill the krells sound!! 
That Elusive Pre-amp bargain....?
A used krell 280p or ARC LS15/16. 
Using Krell rca & bal outputs for the same channel
Rcprince has it correct. Remember, a subwoofer is just that...a SUB woofer i.e..below normal bass frequencies.
