New Krell iBias Amps

Now that the new Krell iBias amps have been out for awhile I would appreciate any feedback on the reliability and the sound of these new units.  Are they running cool as Krell claims and are the fans quite?  Any thoughts on these amps would be welcome.  Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Agree the newest Krell amps are great sounding. Very musical and smooth. I purchased a Chorus 5200 for a HT and couldn't be more satisfied.

herndonb, i have a related question for you, given your history selling Krell.  I'm trying to match my Krell LAT-1000's to the perfect mono blocks.  I'm debating the Krell Evolution Ones, the Solo 575's, and may be Dan's new Momentum 300's.  How would you rank those?  I understand the LAT-1000's were practically made for the Evo Ones, but not sure if technology has made that match obsolete.

Best,
Justin

@ walnut,

You've piqued my interest in these Krell iBias amps.  I'm currently running an FPB 400cx, which is a monster of an amp, and heats up a pretty large family room all by itself!  It's also so huge that it will not fit in the shelves of my equipment stand, so it has to sit on top.  This results in my turntable having to sit inside the stand, which is not optimal at all.

Does anyone know how an iBias amp like the Duo 300 would compare in sound quality to an FPB400cx?  It would be nice to be able to get my turntable back on top of the rack, and it sounds like the Duo 300 runs cool enough to be in a speaker stand and might actually fit.
