New Krell s550i Impressions?

It is not for the power, it is for the quality...

There is no such thing as too much power .
It is a known fact that dynamic transients in music can exceed 10 x
The rated power in milliseconds. This s why by having the extra power the extra headroom is a Big plus.
The amplifier is coasting and not having to go into distortions. I run Maggi
3.6, as well as big Revel speakers with the 550 with no problems whatsoever. in a
16x22ft room .the volume on this is a very high precision ladder type
That goes up to 150 for a lot of flexibility.

Hello audioman..may i ask a couple of questions???
I wouldnt be able to have a dedicated line with that kind of power (here a 4 kw contract would simply cost to much) do you still think its good buy compared to a mac 6600 or 7000 (basically the same sound)???

I would be able to pay te krell half the price of the mcintosh amps.

Also do you think it could be a good match for my thiel cs 1.6?

I am looking to upgrade from my electrocompaniet eci 3 integrated and i would love to keep the lovely mid range but also have more extended and crisp highs and a more controlled bass.

Thanks and sorry for the long post.

I just bought mine on  the used market second hand so far im liking it plenty of power and great sound quality but some glaring issues like a power light  thats way to bright  especially at night and the remote control that all black and isnt  back lit try using that thing in a dimly lit room fortunately i have a universal remote that actually works also the volume knob is cheap and flimsy feeling i cant believe they let these out the door like that
despite these flaws i still like it the sound quality is pretty darn good i must say
