Another thought - does anyone have 3.6's that could run a test for me?  I can send you a song that produces the crackling.  I'm thinking this may have always been there however you don't hear it unless you are really close and off to the side of t...

@therealpupalei - what do you think of the PS compared to your previous Krell?I'm using a Krell TAS to power a pair of 3.6's.  Love it!

Does anyone have the specs on the tweeter for the 3.6(D26AG-36)?  If you listen off to the side and rather close to the tweeter you can hear crackling on music with strong lower treble upper mid energy - like timpani for classical music.  If you l...

@jafant with regards to monoblocksI sold the Bryston 7B-ST's once I got my hands on a Krell FBI.  My girlfriend was blown away by the difference as well.  I hear everyones point on clarity and truth if you will however some recordings sound awful ...

@therealpupalei what did you do with the Krell TAS?  I have one and run it in stereo mode to a pair of 3.6's.  The preamp is the Levinson 326S.  This is my large orchestra setup.

@jafant I wanted to go the ARC Ref 5SE to Bryston 7BST route however the Krell FBI changed that.  I would have preferred to have them side by side to compare however have no regrets on selling the Bryston for the Krell.

@tmsrdg which specific piano recordings?  I want to listen to what you are referencing.@jafant Computer --> MSB Analog --> Krell FBI --> CS2.7 = :-)

@prof  Which CJ amp are you running?  I have used Bryston 3BST and 7BST's and heard the same thing.  The Krell FBI has all of the advantages of SS while not leaning toward the "thinner, flatter, more icy in tone and texture".

@thoft I haven't had a pair of 3.5's to compare.  A pair came up for sale locally a few years ago however the condition was poor.  If I buy another pair it will be the CS5i's.

@thoft I was using a pair of Bryston 7BST's with the 2.7's.  Once I got a Krell FBI I put the Brystons up for sale.  The Brystons were excellent in that system.  The Krell however is a much better match.  Can't speak to the 3.7's.  I do have 3.6's...

@jon_5912 Do your AQ cables have a burgandy jacket?  I have a pair of (I think AQ 4) cables that work great with 2.7's.  Simple no-fluff cables.

@thieliste How about the NAIM ND5XS2?  Any experience with that one?

I have an MSB Analog DAC feeding the Krell FBI.  Debating spending 4K on the renderer and power supply upgrade or going say the Lumin T2 route.  Think I'm going to do the 60 day demo on the Lumin.  The MSB is being fed via usb from an Intel NUC.Wi...
