OMG - my S550i is in transit to Krell for repair - so l brought my older Krell KAV 400xi (cost was $2,100) back to my main system. I added a Son of Ampzilla II ( cost was $2,800) to my system to push my Maggie 1.7i. The Krell is pushing the Bass Panel - DMW. By bi amping my speaker system I am avoiding the overheating issues, and I am getting a great ‘sound stage’ - plenty of ‘dynamic range’ - vocal clarity is amazing - every Diana Krall CD and MQA via the LUMIN is brand new!!! I have never had this solid of a bass line out of the 1.7is - the high end out of the Ampzilla II is amazing - not harsh - just crystal clear!!
What have ave I learned - Power is everything - the Bass Panel adds the bottom end to Maggie’s - Son of Ampzilla II is a great amp!!! Magnepan’ recommendation to run the Bass Panel in parallel is BS!!!
i just added 10 years to the life of my Krell integrated amps!!!
I cannot wait to get my 1.6qr’s ‘Gunned’ by PG. I have the best ‘Low Cost’ stereo system in the world!!! What a Great Country!!!
