| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? Very, very insightful discussion...Having ordered the Krell Phantom (two-chassis, 17500 USD retail), presumably a model comparable in features and quality to the XP-30, I would be interested to know more on comparison between Pass and Krell preamp... | |
| Krell Opening (just curiosity) recently a fellow's Parasound Halo JC-1s (purchased brand new, factory sealed, from authorised dealer), we both were surprised seeing all four power supply main caps (4x33000 mfarads) altogether different, named Rubicon CE... | |
| Gryphon vs. McIntosh What I can say is that much bigger Gryphon combo (Prelude pre plus Encore power, 500Wpc/8ohms) than mentioned integrades pretty easily outperformed both Mac MA7000 and C220/MC501. Actually, the best sounding Mac was MC-275 tube power amp. Speakers... | |
| Krell KAV-2250 power, against HALO JC-1 Well, a long time ago...In December 2008 I became a proud owner of a pair of Krell Evo-400 monoblocks (will be upgraded to new Evo-400e very soon). Never had opportunity to see or listen to the now discontinued KAV-2250.I know a guy from neighbori... | |
| New Krell preamp A few days ago I was told by very reputable Krell distributer from South-Eastern Europe that Krell prepares a new preamp called Phantom III or so, which is supposed to fill the gap that discontinued KAV-280p left behind...Too early to talk on deta... | |
| Krell Phantom pre with built-in active crossover C'mon guys,No one listened the Phantom yet..??Have someone maybe got some insight based on list of specifications, or so?I barely found several differences vs older Evo-202. The most significant one, beside quite a bit larger power supply, is the ... | |
| Krell EVO 302 or 302e Audioman58,Are you familiarized too with differences in design between original Evo-400 and new Evo-400e..?I cannot see any specific design enhancement of this particular model reading specifications from Krell site. | |
| Krell EVO 302 or 302e Audioman58,Does it mean that the original Evo-302 doesn't double, ie 300, 600, 1200W on 8, 4, 2 Ohms respectively..?? | |
| Krell vs Parasound I have compared extensively, many times, Krell Evo-400 vs Parasound JC-1 monoblocks. Outcome emerged to be far from that simple (aircraft carrier vs PT boat ).To my ears, overall sound picture of both in terms of comparison was closer to, say, Mer... | |
| Krell Evo vs Evo-enhance I must say I am pretty sceptical about the green stand-by, which reportedly "consumes only 2W".2W per hour is that minor, so only reasonable explanation might be that the green diode itself consumes the whole 2W. That means that during "green stan... | |
| Krell Evo vs Evo-enhance @Mert,We would sligthly turn to off-topic if discuss now all possible "in-wall" variables that affect sound... They exist, as well as the speaker-itself issues. Of course, I agree that on some 92-93db speaker sensitivity (say, Focal) a good deal o... | |
| Krell Evo vs Evo-enhance @Mert said:"402e is exactly two 400e together put in one chasis"This is, put simply, miles away from correct. Design-topology differences itself aside, let's compare power supplies only:Evo-402e: two 2200 VA transformers and 188000 µF overallEvo-4... | |
| selection of amp to drive DYNAUDIO C1 I used to own Confidence C1 driven by the Parasound Halo A21 (preamp Primare PRE30). Decent match indeed, but perhaps not helpful enough info for you, since I have not any experience with other amps from list. Pass X250 should be better, relying o... | |
| Rowland 625 During the last trip abroad (Zurrich, Switzerland) a few weeks ago, I had a nice opportunity to witness a shootout between Rowland Model 625 and Bladelius Ymer power amps at friend's appartment.. Line up was consisted of Krell Evo-202 preamplifier... | |
| B&W 805D vs. Dynaudio Contour S1.4 Thuhaile said right words...I've listened the 718Be a year ago at dealer's demoroom. Impressive speaker. There were some rumours about diamond-based upgrade of 718 tweeter, towards 718Di or so.. |
