I owned a Krell fpb 200c (now upgraded to 300cx). I ran the same preamp as you... KRC3. I ran the same cables... Transparent Reference speaker and interconnects. I could barely stand to turn up the volume over 1/2 its volume range. If your Krells are in good working order they are not the problem.
Krell FPB 200c lack of Power?
I Think that I have a problem with my system, when I listen to music I have to put the volume pot around 11 and 12 o'clock to get an acceptable volume. I don't think this is normal with a 200 watt amp. I used to have a Classé preamp and a 100 watt power amp that had more volume at around 10 o'clock then the Krell does.I had some friends come by so I could get they'r opinions and they said the same thing.
At first I thought it was the preamp so I borrowed a deferent preamp but there was no deference in volume.
My set up is:
Krell KRC-3 Preamp
Krell FPB 200c Power amp
Meridian 507 CD
SME 10 Turntable with Benz Micro Ruby
Linn Linto Phono Preamp
Kef Reference 203 speakers
Transparent Reference speaker cables
Is there any components of my set up that are incompatible? Could this problem be related to something other then the power amp?? Please help!!
