Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular.


Or the 300 as well.
Will be using it to power a pair of Thiel 3.6s and Maggie 2.7QR some of the time. Currently have a Classe CA-200. I'm looking for more slam and I'm thinking the extra power will result in a less constricted soundstage (more open). Is my thinking right?

How about the CX series? 300CX or 400CX

Associated equipment: Wadia 850, ARC LS-2B, Cardas and PAD cables.

I just heard that driving some Avalon's - it's a different sound to the old Krells at least the FPB cast series. It is smoother on the top and more open sounding and resolving with slightly more body but it doesn't have the bass slam. There is more bass texture in its place. I think nothing I've heard has the bass slam and grunt of those old Krells.

Lucky you! I haven't heard it yet, how does it look? I see, well thanks for your short review.

There's also the BSC amps from Dan's son Bret if you like the old Krell sound. I'd like to hear those too.
Gareneau, yes Oakland County. They are about 4 months old. I have not updated my system, I know I'm bad.
No worries, Jeff, just curious what you have now in your system.

As it happens, my in-laws live in the West Bloomfield area - was just there visiting a week or so ago.

I'm five minutes away, by the Orchard Lake Country Club, your welcome next time you come in. Let me know in advance.
Mmmm, this is news! New amps from legendary Dan d Agostino, they look a lot like the old ksa etc.. amps of old, these new amps should make a huge splash in the audio world!, the description of sound is like my modified 700 cx done by krell a year ago,believe it or not fellow enthusiasts, a 30 amp breaker on one of the beast amps makes a huge difference in sound, like the amp must have been starving for power before! , everything imaginable is a lot better, that was an excellent tweak other than the massive modds.
