Krell coupling capacitor question
Are you using the Krells with a tube pre now? I have used many in the past without the coupling caps and had nary a problem with my 700c. Having a direct path to the speakers is a plus I think.

Sorting Out Versions Of Krell Amps
I have a 700cx and love it. I have had many Krell amps in the past including the 350mcs(450mcx) but the 700cx is the best I've heard in my system. Mine was upgraded from a 600c. I can't really tell if there is any difference in sound since the upg...
