How Much Power: Revel Salon 2's
I am using Krell 402e thru a BAT REX preamp. I think the speakers sound great, very musical. I sense no need for more power; I listen to all kinds of music and sometimes at high volume levels. The "e" upgrade on the Krell was a huge sonic improvem... 
Krell Evo vs Evo-enhance
I went for the upgrade from EVO 402 to the 402e. I was interested just for the electricity savings but also received a memo from KRell describing all the changes. I spoke to Patrick in service and he said that there would be a noticeable audio imp... 
Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies?
I use a BAT Rex preamp (all tubes, power supply and output stages) with a Krell EVO 402e amp. I did nothing but set up the components. Everything sounds glorious with the best of both worlds: big, rich, sound that is also tight, detailed, dynamic. 
Revel Salon2 vs Wilson Sasha
I have the Salon Ulitma 2 speakers driven by Esoteric K-01, REX preamp, Krell EVO-402e.The speakers are the first I have heard that allow me to listen with complete pleasure at softer volume levels as well as play music at very realistic levels wh... 
WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS?
I am fascinated by this thread. I agree with the great back and forth comments by both Koegz and Matjet. So I have this question for Koegz:If money was not an impediment, what kind of server system would you buy? And, forgive me, what if I simply ... 
WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS?
This has been a great thread for me. I have decided to buy a Esoteric K-01 to replace my X01-D2 and forego the outboard clock for now.Matjet's pov was the deciding factor, and it was confirmed by the person from whom I have bought a great deal of ... 
Krell EVO 302 or 302e
I just this past Friday picked up my Krell EVO 402 which was upgraded at Krell to the 402e spec amp. New faceplate, new box, etc. They told me that it would need a week or so of break-in to sound the way it should sound.The change in sound quality... 
BAT REX power consumption
i have the BAT REX and yes it puts out some heat. The upside is that the sound is glorious, euphonious and I am able to listen at all volume levels both low volume and high volume. It has lots of features, the remote is easy to use.The downside is... 
Krell FPB 600c 700cx 400cx Heatsink noises.
I owned the 400cx and now own the EVO 402 and have never heard a peep out of either amp. I listen to all kinds of music, leave the amp on all the time, listen loud, listen soft, listen to the TV/dvd (sometimes, opera mostly).Those amps have never ... 
Edge NL 10.1 update
for what it's worth, I had an NL-10 for ten days. I let it run in on a satellite radio music station for seven days continuously while I was away. It was brand new, unopened box, ready to go. I was eager to try this amp at home and was happy to ha... 
Revel Salon2 owner: What amps are you using?
I am using a Krell EVO 402 thru a BAT Rex preamp. And the sound is extremly satisfying. And I find it the best system I have ever had at low volumes. I can listen well into the evening when the house is sleeping and not disturb anyone--a good thin... 
Help with the move to digital server
Thanks so much for all your input and ideas. The Olive HD4 looks like it would work best for me. I love the idea of a Mac MIni but then what do I do for a screen. I have my system integrated into my library (18x18 w 10 ft ceiling, nicely decorated... 
Cozi fan Tutti, EMI or Angel Records?
The new recording by Rene Jacobs on SACD is wonderful. A great performance on period instruments and the recording is heavenly. YOu will not be disappointed. 
Kreall amp and tube pre
I am listening to a BAT Rex pre-amp into a Krell EVO-402 amp and it sounds great, even incredible. I did nothing but plug the two pieces of gear together and started listening. There was nothing in either owner's manual that indicated any specific...
