| Recommended Speakers with Krell 450Mcx Mono Amps? The B&W 803Diamond is also a very good Speaker @ $8K-new with excellent bass, an amazing top-end and a small foot-print 12"x18". As with most front-driver/front-ported Speakers it can be set-up close (a foot or so) from the front wall with any... | |
| Transport Noise from Krell SACD Standard An interesting fact is that Krell hasn't made a CD only Player since discontinuing the KPS28c and KAV-280p late in 2002. Since 2003, the only audio-only CD Player offered by Krell has been the Standard, up until this month's release of the Evoluti... | |
| Krell SACD Standard problem For the record, I've been using my SACD Standard for nearly every day since purchasing it new in May 2004 (March '04 Production) and have never had a problem, never a skip, nothing but flawless performance on any DISC I ever put in it. Actually, i... | |
| Opinions On Used Speakers music only $5K $6K The Watt/Puppy 5.1, Revel Studio & N802 are among my top 3 picks. Should the Krell Resoultion 2 be considered in this mix? Are they sonically comparable to the above? The downside to the W/P 5.1 is that they're getting a bit old by now. I coul... | |
| Krell SACD Standard redbook playback improvement I've had my Krell SACD Standard since 2004. I run pure-silver balanced interconnects into a Krell KAV-400xi and out to a pair of B&W 803s. I bought this player primarily for Redbook CDs, I own only 10 SACDs. As far as CD playback is concerned,... | |
| Krell Resolution 2's VS Polk Audio LSi15 After Lush's response, I'm going to take another careful listen to the Krell Resolution 2 next week. The B&W 802D sets the bar awefully high, when I was shopping for a set of Speakers last summer, the B&W/Krell Dealers (4-that carry both l... | |
| Krell Resolution 2's VS Polk Audio LSi15 The Krell Resolution 2 is now $9,500-pair that puts it in a much different price class than the Polks. You could audition the Krells at most Tweeter/Sound Advice stores. Compared to the B&W 803Diamonds the Krells are over priced. Their sound i... | |
| What's Next? The Classe CD/DVD-1 and Marantz DV-9500 are both "A" rated DVD/CD Players, Both retail(ed) new for around $2,000 and sell used for around $1,500 (or less). The Marantz is newer and plays SACD. The Classe, I believe, offers better CD sound along wi... | |
| New Focal.JMlab Electra speakers Here's another link. This new line seems much more living-room friendly than the outgoing Eletra line (and current Utopia excluding Diva). Outside of sonics, it's the small foot-print/easy-placement and nice-asthetics of the B&W 805, 804, 803 ... | |
| B&W Nautilus 802 or Krell Resolution 2 Yes, resale is a very important consideration as is asthetics, both have kept me from buying the Revel F50 and Focal.JMlab 936/946. The Krell Resolution 2 has been offered to me through two different Dealers at deep discounts (near-used-prices), w... | |
| B&W N803 amp/pre amp advice please You could go with the Krell 400xi rated @ 200-wpc>8-ohms / 400-wpc>4-ohms. This Integrated is only $2,500-new. Stereophile Magazine gave it an excellent review (measured @ 290-wpc>8-ohms) back in Feb. and put it on their Recommended Compo... | |
| Krell Resolution 2 speakers The Krell Resolution 2 reviewed well in the Dec.'04/Jan.'05 issue of "The Absolute Sound" magazine, though the reviewer did suggest useing an excellent, high-powered Amplifier (Krell FPB) to get the most out of these Speakers. | |
| B&W N803 VS Sonus Faber Cremona The B&W Nautilus 803 is an excellent sounding, well integrated, modestly sized/easy-to-place, full-range Speaker. It appeared on Stereophile's Recommended Components list from 2000 through 2002 with a "Class A-Restricted Extreme LF" rating. Th... | |
| krell kav 300il - what are your thoughts? The Krell KAV-300il and new KAV-400xi are both rated @ 400-watts per channel into 4-ohms, which is plenty of power for most good Speakers, including the B&W Nautilus line up to and including the N802. These integrateds are as powerful as any 2... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor and Krell Check-out the April/May 2004 issue of "The Absolute Sound" magazine. The Krell KAV-400xi is reviewed using a pair of Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor speakers. The reviewer states that the speakers "volume and dynamic capibility-stayed apace with the K... |
