| Is there Really a difference between a Krell 400xi intergrated amp and the newer Vandgard? Drum roll please....The Vanguard is the winner by a huge margin! I intended to keep the 400xi for a second system but it had a low level him in one channel and a higher noise floor than I remembered. That said, the Vanguard immediately strikes m... | |
| Is there Really a difference between a Krell 400xi intergrated amp and the newer Vandgard? Should have the 400xi tomorrow! I'm going to find out if my recollections are accurate or not regarding the two Krell integrateds. | |
| Is there Really a difference between a Krell 400xi intergrated amp and the newer Vandgard? I'm going to pick up a used 400xi and do a shootout in my system!! Stay tuned...the looser gets posted on Agon:() | |
| Is there Really a difference between a Krell 400xi intergrated amp and the newer Vandgard? Ok, so the question is whether or not the Krell Vanguard is superior to the 400xi. Well, yes in absolute terms and no if you are strapped for cash. Overall the Vanguard is clearer, more dynamic and slightly warmer. It also will not overheat and... | |

| Is it possible to be an audiophile and be happy with what you have Possible for brief periods of time between systems! | |
| Krell Duo 300 compared to Evo 302e or 402e? Coinguy37 is a Troll....Krell does not sell direct. | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced Class D sounds grey to me. Devialet sucks as well as Hegel...Highly regarded by some. | |
| How important are speaker cables to the sound emanating from the speakers? I'll take your word for the detailed history lesson, but as I recall Brisson's work for Monster produced the Monster Interlink Reference cable which was a watershed for audiophiles at the time and used group delay/Varilay construction? Bruce then... | |
