Denon1 yes they use fans, never heard them come on at all totally silent.
We are running the 300XD and the Illusion 2 with dac option with the Persona 9H and the sound is really exceptional: big soundstage, good midbass punch and dynamics, the bass is quite good not as uber slammy as the reference gear, the midrange and top end of this gear is stunning rich, organic, and flowing, also there is not a much front to back image float vs the uber rig however, we are litterally using a $1k digital board which is the cheapest digital source in the room vs our $8k $17k $22k and $35k dacs we use with the uber gear.
All in all quite an accomplishment for the money the new Krell gear is really exceptional the looks also kind of grow on you. Not as great looking as the T+A gear but still kind of cool and business like.

Still love the T+A gear even more but again the value for the dollar with the new Krell gear is off the charts.
