Help My Krell amp is too big.

I am building a new home which will have a stereo cabinet to house my components. My Krell FPB 600 2 channel amp is too long to fit in my 22" deep cabinet. Even though I love the amp, I now need to sell it. I'm thinking about two smaller monoblocks to replace it. I don't want to go backwards on quality. Suggestions? I would like to spend less than 10K. Speakers are B&W Nautilus 801's and preamp is Krell HTS 7.1. Thanks!

Bust out the back of your stereo cabinet. Have a carpenter bust it out and expand it into the stud wall, there's atleast 4" hidden back there. I've seen it done for TV's, why not your amp?

Will the stereo cabinet allow for adequate ventilation of your Krell?

If you like Krell sound why not stay with Krell mono?

Unless you are in a shear-wall configuration it should be easy to get a few more inches in depth.

You you need to have a converation. Lots of suggestions hereabouts if you contractor can't think 'inside the box..'

I would say go with either the EVO 402
or step down to a 400cx
You'll hear a drastic improvement with the 402 and should not be giving anything up except pounds going with a 400cx
