| Pre amp for Krell FPB & Teac P-70 & D-70?? You might want to try the Krell KCT preamp with your FPB600c. Part of my system consists of Krell's KPS28c and Accuphase's DP-75V for redbook CDs and an Esoteric DV-50 for SACD and DVD-Audio playback through an FPB700cx. Best sound I've experience... | |
| b&w htm2 vs. matrix 805 for center I tried a B&W matrix HTM center channel speaker with 801 matrix series 3 front speakers and went to the HTM 800 with great results. The HTM 800 is the HTM1 black cabinet with HTM Signature drivers and crossover. A huge improvement over the ori... | |
| B&W 801 2or 3 Having listened to many high end speakers over the last 30 years driven by various quality electronics, my ears prefer the B&W 801 matrix s.3 speakers driven by Krell's most powerful class A amps. I love big orchestral music and nothing I've h... | |

| Down to the Final Two -- Dreadnaught vs. Titan I've not auditioned the Dreadnaught, but love the 5 channel Titan which has been in my HT system for the past year. It is a great match with the Krell HTS 7.1 and B&W 802 matrix s3 speakers. Don't forget the most important review, though.....y... | |
| Any suggestions to power B&W 801S3 speakers? The Krell FPB700cx is a synergistic match with the 801s.3 speakers. Add external Northcreek crossovers for the best sound I've personally heard from any system. | |
| Need help with choosing a tubed pre-amp. I use a BAT VK5i preamp with a pair of Bel Canto eVo 200.2 amps in the monoblock configuration driving a pair of B&W 801 matrix series 3 speakers. The combination is wonderful! Smooth, but detailed with a huge soundstage and no edginess at all... | |
| Krell KCT vs Krell HTS 7.1 I use a KCT in my stereo system which feeds an FPB600c andB&W 801 matrix series 3 speakers with NorthCreek externalcrossovers. The HTS 7.1 serves as the home theater pre/prowith an FPB600 driving the front channels of the HT system using B&... | |

| Marantz 8300 "Universal "Player. Reviews/Comments? I've been listening to the DV-8300 for a week and am very pleasantly surprised with its performance. It probably needsmany more hours to burn in and sound its best, but so far itcompares favorably with a Toshiba SD-9200 I've used for ayear or so. ... | |
