What happens to an amp below 2 ohms?
The Krell KSA and MDA are noted for playing the Apogee line of speakers with aplomb. In fact Krell put themselves on the map by building amps that could do this and were the amps of choice for Apogee to demo with. I'm not sure if some of the latte... 
Will Quantum Computing Bridge the analog gap?
Very interesting. It is this could be what it takes. This technology should have unlimited processing power and handle an infinite amount of data. However, will any one care enough about quality audio to try, would there be a market for it, I want... 
Upgrading Fuses
Well, I don't recall William Zane Johnson of Audio Research fame providing endless technical documentation of why the famed SP3-1A preamp sounded better than the solid state competition. As I recall, curious, suspicious, and doubting potential buy... 
Krell 3250e vs Classe CA-2300 vs Levinson 532H
Wow! I've talked with Patrick and found him very helpful even when he found out I was calling about used products. Many people I know have rejoiced that Patrick was back heading up service at Krell. Sorry you had a bad experience. 
Upgrading Fuses
Regarding fuses, I suppose we could be victims of a 'ripoff' by audiophile fuse manufacturers. Maybe they haven't done anything to them at all. I'm sure there are even counterfeit fuses being made as well as power cords, interconnects, and speaker... 
Upgrading Fuses
I own 2 Krell KSA 250s and a pair of MDA 500s and have just double checked the owners manuals and according to the manual Krell has developed circuit topologies without fuses because they impact the sound quality. Instead they developed their own ...

Krell amps use no fuses. I believe so they don't impact the sound quality.

Way to hold your own Vance. Isn't education sometimes a bitch for those who won't listen. 
The next best Tweak ???
I'm getting some strange pops through my system when I turn the amps on so I had to disconnect for now. I'll show an electrical friend what I've done and see what I might have done wrong. It maybe because I have no crossover in the speakers. Last ... 
The next best Tweak ???
Thanks Ozzy for your help. I have implemented this on my system. I have the 6 volt system on my Legacy Helix speakers and had to make a special rig since the speaker is quad amped. It took a while to figure how to do all thee speaker terminals for... 
The next best Tweak ???
Hi,I get how to hook up the speaker and amp part of the tweak, but I'm confused on how the systems for the RCA, Balanced, and digital connectios are made. Do you just construct the same apparatus using the appropriate connector and plug this into ... 
How to Hook Up 4 Dq-10 speakers
Post some pictures I've gotta see this! 
Vintage Krell
These amps were designed around the same time so they sound very similar. Maybe the KSA 150 might sound a little sweeter, the 250 more dynamics with more slam. Your choice might hinge on room size and speaker efficiency. KSA 250 is hard to beat. T... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
So far the best I've heard were the Legacy Helix at the Legacy Audio showroom in Springfield, IL. Other contenders Magnepan Tympani IVs, MG 3.6s, Acoustat 2+2s, Snell Type As, and Legacy 20/20s. I look forward to hearing other contenders. 
Does anyone use Simaudio Pre with Krell amps?
The ARC Ref 3 sounds exceptional with the Krell amps. Most people find it to be a big upgrade over Ref 2.
