The current 300 series Levinson is the best that they have produced. Levinson in my opinion is a more relaxed delivery of sound than Krell. The music will emanate from behind the speakers. The Krell will be a bit more forward and definitely more dynamic. Some of the Krell comments seem to be of the older models. If I were you spending this much money on an amp, find dealer that will let you demo them. Also, listen to the Audio Research VT100 mkII. I've heard them with 805s and the sound was awesome. Good luck exploring.
Krell FPB200 or Levinson 334 ?
I am looking for a power amp to drive a pair of B&W Nautilus 805. Currently I am hesitating between the FPB200 and 334. They are sold by different dealers so I can't have a A/B comparison. Any opinion please ? I mainly listen to jazz and soft rock, and like pin-point imaging. The CD player originally in my mind is a Wadia 861, but with the current situation with Wadia I think I'll hold on for a while before upgrading my CD player. Thanks.
