| Active crossovers If you can buy the Krell KBX for $1500 ... BUY IT!The Krell lists for about $4K. It works either balanced or SE. It costs only $200 for Krell to make you a custom board for your speakers. If you change speakers Krell can make you a new board, maki... | |
| Active crossovers If you decide to use and active crossover (as I did) and can afford it, go for the Krell KBX. Krell makes the active crossover for such speakers as the $40,000 four way B&W Nautilus, and has made crossovers for other companies as Martin Logan.... | |

| built-in Xover during active bi-amping. The answer is definitely system dependent. I actively bi-amped my B&W800's. I removed the bass low pass filter completely, and rewired my mid/high filter network. The design was done for me by Dan D'Agostino of Krell fame.YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT... | |
| Krell FPB300 to FPB300c, changeable? To upgrade the FPB300 to the FPB400cx, you would first have to upgrade to the FPB300c and then to the 400. It is not worth the money.Richard | |

I replaced it with the Krell KRC-HR primarily for the remote capability. The KRC-HR is better, but as far as the bang for the buck, buy the KBL. (by the way, my system co... | |
| "Vertical" biamping I do not have two of the same amps, so I have to go the horizontal route.I have two Krell stereo amps. Dan D'Agostino prefers vertical biamping.I am using The Krell KBX active crossover with my B&W800's and the improvement over just using one ... | |

| How many of us have worked in audio stores? I worked my way through dental school as manager of the largest and at that time "highest" end audio store in New Orleans. It's name was Custom Audio and the years were 1964-1968.Richard | |
| upgrade krell mc250 to mc350's for 1,000. Dear Tacs:Not so! The FPB300 sounds much better than the FPB200 (and the previous KSA250 sounded much better than the KSA150). I do not know if the upgrade of raising the power of the FPB series to the new "x" series is an improvement since the po... | |
