| Just purchased Wilson Maxx's. Now what ?? Amps? I own the MAXX myself and drive them with Krell KPS-25c playback unit and Krell 650 mono blocks. I am biased and love Krell sound, but have also heard Wilsons with Mark Levinson equipment and with Jadis tube equipment and have been impressed. My s... | |
| Anybody happy with high power Krell? I am always amazed at how everyone on this site loves to trash Krell. I have owned the KSA-250 which is a good amp, but very lean sounding and a heater for the room it is in. I auditioned the Rowland 350 watt mono 7's at the time I had the Krell 2... | |
| Sounds good but to laid back You're spending way too much time on audiogon and need to be spending more with L, D and H. No more spending money on hi-fi, especially when you are at the CES show this week. Have you tried a Krell amp to kick some life into your Aerials? | |
| What's your opinion on Transparent Power cords vs I am using the Transparent Reference XL powerlink on my Krell KPS-25SC unit and also have Reference and Reference XL throughout my system and have been pleased. There is a Powerlink XL for sale from a guy in Florida for half price on this site. I ... | |
| 15 amps or 20 amps outlet Run four or five dedicated lines as the price for the additional runs will be minimal and you will probably use them all someday. I ran 5, one for analog, two for digital and two for monoblock Krell amps. Go 20 amps for your amplifiers minimum and... | |
| VMPS line of speakers Bioman, I have had lot's of experience with VMPS and have visited with the designer Brian Cheney often. He is an interesting guy, a little tempemental, but detailed in his design and his product. My neighbor was a reviewer for the Absolute Sound a... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Pass Labs Wilson Watt/Puppy 5.1's for 6.0's are excellent and the 5.1's are selling at incredible discounts to the original pricing on this site. | |
| why are wilson speakers so highly regaurded. One more comment on a strength of Wilson speakers. They sound fantastic at every volume level. What is so amazing is when you turn them down low and you're still able to hear the full spectrum of sound. Try that the next time you demo them. No oth... | |
| why are wilson speakers so highly regaurded. I had owned B&W801 MatrixIII for years, but then bought Wilson Watt/Puppies 5.1 four years ago because the sound stage, imaging, dynamics ate B&W's lunch. The only thing they miss is the lowest octave of bass. However the bass produced is ... | |
| How to ship large speakers between US and Canada.. You might try Transcorp.com. This is American Freight, I believe and they can give you an estimate on line. You fill in the info and zip and they will send back a non-binding quote. Don't know if they go to Canada, but apparently they ship for Wil... | |
| How come no one talks of sansui? NOw you're taking me back to my very first (what I thought was hi end) system consisting of the old Sansui 9090 110watts/channel stereo amp driving my JBL 166 speakers with a front end consisting of a Thorens TD126 and Ortofon cartridge. Wow! I wa... | |
| babys and your components I have a 4, 2.5 and 10 month old and I can relate to your problem. My two older girls were very good about not touching the speakers, the wires etc. However, I have Krell 650mono's and the heat sinks are a weapon and my fear is they will fall and ... | |
| monoblocks: one dedicated line or two? I recently istalled 5 dedicated lines; 3 20amp and 2 30amp lines. One line for the digital front end; one for the turntable and phono preamp; one for tape deck. One 30amp line for each of my Krell 650MC's. A dedicated line for each amp will improv... | |
| Any merits of getting a Krell FPB 200 C with my existing KRC I owned the FPB300 amp and it was superior to my older KSA250. I next purchased the FPB600 and it blew away the 300. I spoke with Steven at Krell about updating the 600 to the CAST and he mentioned the CAST has different audio boards that can impr... | |
| Transparent Cable Questions I had Supers and my dealer asked me if I wanted to try the Reference. Big mistake! I had to buy them. You will definitely benefit with each move up in the Transparent line except maybe the new Opus for $20k. I have had my Reference for 7 years and... |
