Tube vs Solid State
@gdhal ,that would do it nicely. Bob 
Can I use this amp in my house?
There are adapters for 20 plugs to 15 amp, though you should tread carefully.To be absolutely safe, you should have an electician add a dedicated 20 amp circuit. 2400 watts is not something to be complacent with. 
Mytek Brooklyn+microRendu -or- PS Audio DS Junior?
I went with Bluesound Node to see if it was as good as advertised.Though I have only used it for a few days, I am impressed. I bypass the Bluesound DAC and use my Schiit Dac's.Bluesound can integrate with Tidal, so I have access to MQA, too.I hate...

You could try to buy a non functional FBP-600 and use it for parts, if Krell is unable to source the fins. 
Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation
Whoohoo!I hope to pick up my cables from Audioconnection this week, so I can finally listen to your old Treo's, ctsooner.In the meantime, I have my recently installed Atma-sphere amps and preamp connected to a pair of Zu Union's. (Didn't need Biwi... 
Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design
Ozzy, I did not opt for the upgraded caps or power boost. My amps are vanilla MA-1's upgraded to 3.3As things 'burn in', it just keeps getting better.Bob 
Why does bi-amping speakers sound better?
Since you are dealing with old wiring, I would get an electrician to look at what you have, before buying an amp. If it will tax the existing wiring, you will not only not hear what you could achieve, but might not only damage your equipment, but ...

 Of course, you could contact Krell and ask their opinion. If it took such a hard hit, there may be additional damage. Proceed with caution. 
Bi-wires links for speakers ?
@OP-It seems like you have your mind made up. Why bother posting this thread? 
Has anybody heard this newer brand of turntable? Shineola Runwell out of Detroit, MI USA?
If their turntables are like their watches, I think you could do better for the money. 
Recommedations for bestt interconnects for phono cable inputs at $100 or less
Schiit offers some very nicely made interconnects here and on Ebay- as well as directly selling, at very nice prices.Very clean and neutral.Bob 
DAC with USB recomndations sought
Check out Schiit. Based in Utah, they can configure a DAC for your power and have a model in your price range. I can assure you even their entry model is musical.Bob 
Mytek Brooklyn+microRendu -or- PS Audio DS Junior?
I, for one, am not going to worry about MQA until it becomes the standard bearer.Like HD-DVD versus BluRay, this stuff has to shake out.Bob 
Balancing time for music: Discovery/acquisition vs. listening
I am just getting into this, but compared to Tidal, Spotify has a much better offering for just about every genre.At $10 bucks/month, it is a great deal for me. Though not as high a bitstream as Tidal, I find it totally acceptable.Even ClassicsOnl...
