Wilson W/P 6 with Krell 350 MCX ?
Rhyno, exactly what is "hi-fi?"I thought that was reserved for the SET crowd. But I may be wrong. Oh I see, sharply rolled off highs and low power without linearity, extension or ability to provide current into demanding loads, that's anti-hi-fi. ... 
Wilson W/P 6 with Krell 350 MCX ?
Rhyno: "lose the Krell but keep the WP6s"...they're great speakers but the Krells are...what exactly? Those amps, and that preamp, are among the very finest ever manufactured. Duane: you'll do just fine with that combo! Don't worry one single bit. 
Totally confused about phasing
The following can be done to test if speakers are wired identically and will cause no damage to your speakers. You can easily check if it is your speakers that are miswired. Remove the grill cloth and disconnect the speaker cables from your amp. T...

Upgrade Thiel CS3.6 to CS6??
D edwards, You are so right about that and I have to confess to all here that as a result of that extensive listening, I have owned the CS6 for a little over a year now powered by Krell KCT CAST connected to a Krell 400cx and coupled to the 6s via... 
Upgrade Thiel CS3.6 to CS6??
You folks who are touting the superiority of the 3.6 or the 2.4 over the 6 must be smoking some very good stuff. I did extensive comparisons of all three a little over a year ago powered by Levinson, Krell and Musical Fidelity and by far the CS6 w... 
Are There Any Inherent Advantages to Class A amps?

Krell FPB 400cx vs Parasound JC1
They are different in electrical design in that the Krell is strictly Class A and the Parasound is Class A/B, even though it will run class A up to a certain point. I own the 400cx and a friend has the JC1s. Both are excellent solid state amps. Th...

Review: Krell FPB-700cx Amplifier
Nrchy: you know I'm a fellow Krell fan and fellow audio cynic, owning both the 400cx and the KCT connected via CAST. I've gotta a very strong predictive sense that if you were to put a KCT in your system and connect it via CAST to the 700cx you wo...
