Jun 03, 2010	Krell S300i Volume Control Popping Noise Thanks. I suppose it could the the power line. I'd have to try another location to verify. I was told early production units had a loose ground, and wondered whether that could impact the volume. A UK forum contributor found the same issue, callin...
Apr 04, 2007	Best Pre-Amp/Amp for Focal JMLab electra 920 In solid-state electronics, I should add that Ayre is another excellent choice. Sonically, I'd say it's somewhere between Musical Fidelity and Krell, and about as close as transistors come to a tube-like rendering of space.
Apr 04, 2007	Best Pre-Amp/Amp for Focal JMLab electra 920 I have the Electra 915s, and I also listen mostly to classical.

May 25, 2003	Krell FPB Owner want to try Tube Amp or Integrated If you are happy with the Krell, then I would not worry about what others say. Furthermore, I have noticed many posts on Krell gear in general, at various forums, criticizing the products as edgy and bright. Indeed, that may have been the case w...
May 23, 2003	Best Integrated amp for under 4k Krell KAV 300-iL if you want fast, clean, and transparent. The sound is the result of Krell's use of its current-mode gain topology, trickled down from its FBP line of amps and Current Tunnel preamp, in a now fully-balanced preamp section. Basical...
Dec 17, 2002	Best amp to drive B&W N805's I had good success with Musical Fidelity's original A3cr pre and power combo, though it was driving the much cheaper B&W 602 bookshelves. The Musical Fidelity top-end is smooth and grain-free, which makes it a good match with the metal dome tw...
