| Best recorded rock album.Amused to Death.R.Waters? I try not to let lyrics concern me therefore I think The Final Cut is great and sounds mighty good on vinyl. I don't have the CD.Caravanserai is great on CD. I haven't heard the SACD. But would love to.Fade into Light on DVDA by Boz Scaggs is migh... | |
| An Audiophile's journey I agree with the part about a stereo sounding loud. It's one thing the Krell really excells in. I did say even a Krell can't make a bad design sound good.I also agree wholeheartedly that belief and fact are often quite far from one another. Most p... | |
| An Audiophile's journey I like tubes also and have a tube amp in another system. Maybe you didn't read all of the above posts Pubul57. You are correct tubes can sound wonderful but cannot work well with a large array of speakers like a well designed high current amp. An ... | |
| An Audiophile's journey Pubul57, with an attitude like yours I'm sure you wouldn't like Krell.From Krell's manual:Krell amplifiers are best known for their ability to drive any loudspeaker to soundits best, without regard to impedance or efficiency. I believe that linear... | |
| An Audiophile's journey ((Rwwear, FWIW they were never one of our dealers.))It's possible we weren't but had some of your stuff around. I only worked there part time.((Another example is the Acoustic Research AR-1, the very first acoustic suspension speaker made. Acousti... | |
| An Audiophile's journey I didn't say that Oem. I think Krell will work well with any speaker if it is a quality design. And we wouldn't want anything less. But I suppose you don't actually need 1000 watts a channel for Quads. I have close to 2000 watts per channel with m... | |
| An Audiophile's journey Sorry Oem, you mentioned sound quality. The Quads are very delicate and you should not overdrive them with any amp. The newer ones aren't as bad. | |
| An Audiophile's journey Oem, my Krell can't make a bad speaker sound good. If a speaker has a screechy top end don't blame the amp, blame the designer or use a poorly designed amp with rolled off treble.Again I disagree Atmasphere I and the Fourier builders were amazed h... | |
| Best sounding Krell ? ((Jeez, if the Pentagon was to design power amps I think they would look just like Krell.)) High praise indeed. Although never much of a fan of Krell's cosmetics, I love what their amps can do.But if someone dislikes a product so much why would th... | |
| An Audiophile's journey Shadorne, as much as I respect your opinion I have to disagree with you. An active speaker may work well with the proprietary internal amp but is even more dependent on the specific amp designed for it. Which is one reason such designs are unpopul... | |
| An Audiophile's journey I have heard the Lowthers with SETs and thought they sounded great but only with a sub. I have not listened to the Lowthers with the Krell but am sure it would drive them well but would sound different. I also have a modified Citation II that I us... | |
| An Audiophile's journey I sorry Atmasphere. I just don't agree with your accessment. My Krell 700cx will drive any speaker in production. And it does it well. It will drive high impedence speakers such as Soundlab and do it very well also. People in attendence when we we... | |
| Best sounding Krell ? Ah, the personal email ploy. I've gotten a few of those. | |
| An Audiophile's journey No. But some come mighty close. | |
| Do single-layer SACDs sound better? I didn't say anything about the players being perfected of course nothing is truly. |
