Whats the krell sound?
Rgs92Ahhhh, the Stage...what a beautiful sounding speaker!Sorry, I can't help much. My 626's were bought (3 of them) as part of an all Vmps surround system 8 years ago and are soft-dome.I have a Vmps dealer near my home and have listened to most m... 
Rockin Speaker under $1000 used
You are going to have a lot of bass in that room, be carefull or you will have way to much. Bookshelf size speakers are easy to transport, can you find a couple of dealers that will let you take a few pairs home?Sorry, you said used...my mistake. ... 
Whats the krell sound?
914nutThe Kav's are IMO not a good choice for full range ribbon systems...weak power supply turns them bright when driven hard. (I own a Kav-500). It's a great little amp for my Vmps 626's or my Apogee Centaur Minors but falls apart quickly on my ... 
Mods to Apogee Scintillas?
JoeGet with Henry (the designer of the H2O amp) he has three pair of Apogees (Scintillas, Diva, Stage). I think those are the models. He is a great guy I am told and this would give you a chance to check out the amps and three different models of ... 
Who can mod my pre-amp with an xover
Talk to Albert at Space-Tech labs. They have balanced tube pre-amp amd will build to your spec's I have been told with built-in X-over.(url]http://www.space-tech-lab.com/[/url]I have read that their products are very good but have never listened m... 
Mods to Apogee Scintillas?
JoeA link to all Apogee models http://www.apogeespeakers.com/mainpage.htm I would stay with one of the full range ribbon models..the Stage's are the smallest full ribbon model but are not really full range without their subs.IMO, the key to buying...

JoeTry this link for some pictures. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=3924042&uid=1034484&members=1The mono's are around $3,000 I think? Also, a search at the Apogee forum under (ICE) and or (H20) will turn up info on ... 
Mods to Apogee Scintillas?
BobLet us know what your opinion is on the H2O's and Henry's Scintillas. I know Muralman1 loves his and I know that he replaced Pass 600 mono's with the H2O monos....but, I am also interested in your opinion.Dave 
Krell Amps. What are there major differance.
My multichannel system has Krell Ksa-250 for fronts and Kav-500 for center and rears. I have played around with my Kav in many configurations of my system. While it's a great little amp...it has it's limits. These limits (All Kav models have them)... 
What is the best used system under $1000?
Lots of used Vandersteen in your budget, they should be a good mate for the NAD. Forget the Apogee and DQ-10's, I own or have owned both and you don't have enough power to bring out the best in these two IMO.Dave 
Mods to Apogee Scintillas?
I would go with something like this digital X-over room correction device http://www.clarityeq.com/dsp-product/pdc26.html in a full tri-amp.I am also an Apogee owner (Centaur Minors) and (Duetta Signatures).Dave 
Krell KSA-250 Power Amp Internal Fuse
There are no fuses in the Ksa-250, the AC line fuse is on the back of the amp.Dave 
New source versus pre-emp
I would start with a pre-amp, bang for buck thing. Very little difference between digital source as a $$$ amount per sound quality improvment.If your happy with the Classe amps and they are up to the job as far as your speakers go...the best tweak... 
Sssss...sibilance?
Odd post,not the sibilance part...but the problem you are talking about does not fit your new system. I have owned SAE gear in the 70's (very SS sounding) and hard to beleave is not worlds below your new gear?My guess is that these are old recordi...
