Krell Duo 300 Amp Quality

Thoughts on Krell's new Duo 300 amp. I will be using B&W 802N and their center channel for music and home theater and am considering using Krell's Foundation as well. I live in California so the power savings on the new Krell design is interesting. Does anyone know how this amp sounds compared to previous models and any reliability issues? Thanks in advance for you input.

Krell has changed quite a bit since Dan is no longer with the company. If I wanted a Krell, I would buy an older model. Either way, you may want to listen to the combo first to see if you can take the tweeter with an amp like the Krell. I couldn't. For me, its just too harsh.

I'm a Krell dealer, so of course take my post with a grain of salt, but I believe the new Krell iBias amps are fantastic. I wish more people would take a chance and just go listen to them (I have a feeling most people knocking their looks have not actually heard them).

IMHO, they are really, really good.

If you have a chance, read the recent great review done by Hometheaterreview on the Solo 375's.
