Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular.

Michael,

IN connection with your Krell re-capping, was this done by Krell? What effect -- pro or con- on the amp's sound did the recap have?

Thanks,

Neal

Nice! Michaeljbrown-

indeed, the Thiel CS 2.4 is a special loudspeaker, that demands both high power & high current to really sing.
Anyone else using a Krell power amp on Thiel loudspeakers?
Keep me posted and Happy Listening!

The Krell will have a greatly extended life if recapped. I wouldn't get one that has not been recently recapped. Its a beast to ship off to Krell, and will cost you about $1200.00 at least, maybe more now. Counting shipping, that's close to 2 grand.
When the caps quit, the Krell quits. My experience with Krell is nothing but good, and when I go back to sold state I'm going back to Krell.

I am using the Krell FPB-250 Mono's and they sound fantastic on my Rockport Altairs.

Jwm and others here,

I have the Krell FPB-250 Mono's as well and just recently purchased Art's Audible Illusions Modulus 3B tube preamp. I know there have been discussions on the 'gon about having to put jumpers in the Krells when using tubes to avoid harming them.

But the feedback has been unclear, Krell says you should do it while others say not to worry.

Any thoughts/guidance?

Thanks,

Gary
