Which CD\SACD?
Used Krell SACD Standard MKIII! 
Is there Really a difference between a Krell 400xi intergrated amp and the newer Vandgard?
Very few FBI's were sold.  The FBI was an FPB 300 and a KCT in one chassis!  Quite a few Vanguards were sold and at any given time many great pieces of Krell and or other top brands are listed.  That said, Krell could have put line level outs.

I use an REL SUB with my Vanguard...the Speakon connection is actually superior to an RCA line level connection. 
When I have seen people listing their systems lately
I am buying a Krell Cipher before they stop making them...thousands of irreplaceable CD's to listen to!! 
Choosing a CD or SACD player over my Oppo BDP 95
They both use OpAmps for the output stage people but if ya needs the Swiss Army knife enjoy!

I agree Brian, I tried them all as well!  Octet11, I highly recommend Music Direct...they are a class act and you can return anything you don't like after a thorough listen. 
Audio Research service
No shippee the remotee or  Cordee! 
Vintage Krell Amp... Which would you choose?
Of course, bomb proof is the most important aspect of audio after all! We don't need to consider sound quality all that much...as long as you can crank that bad boy!  NOT

Sdcampbell, I had the Hegel home and I found it hard and flat sounding.  A bit cold as well!

Exactly, I had a couple of them in the past with zero noise!

The one I used was supposedly just refurbished by Krell!

FYI, getting a Krell Cipher next week...I will post.  May pick up a pair of cherry Krell Resolution 2 speakers as well.  Had a pair a few years ago and miss their full bodied take on my CD collection.  Stay tuned!
