Any love for newer Krell amps?

The Krell weighs 60 pounds total. 
Honestly, I was not able to hear either the Krell or Coda. Both were highly recommended by the same dealer (Dave Lalin) but he had a higher recommendation for the Krell despite the higher price.  He arranged for the CEO of Krell to call me and discuss the amps features which was very helpful.  I also spoke to the top guy at Coda who was equally helpful. Both seem to be good companies.  In the end, I relied on the recommendation of a dealer who knows my system, has a good ear and sells both products.  So far, I’m happy.  And I wouldn’t go along with some arbitrary weight requirement.  The Krell does have fans which presumably replace some heavy heat sinks. The fans are virtually noise free.  

In the end, I relied on the recommendation of a dealer who knows my system, has a good ear and sells both products.

No disagreement on your choice, with a statement that really lends weight to your decision.+28 kilos.A phone call from the CEO - priceless.

Right. Of course not. That would be silly.

To go along with the recommendation of a dealer, and a manufacturer, sight unheard, that’s eminently sensible due diligence.

And yet, the line I will always savor is:

The dealer had a higher recommendation DESPITE the higher price. Wow. Whatever you do, stick with Dave. He really knows his customers!

millercarbon-I really appreciate your sarcasm. You obviously are a very nice person (couldn’t resist emulating your sarcastic example).  

i have the Krell Duo300 XD and it was a nice improvement over a Parasound A21+, which was equal to a prima luna HP, which was much nicer than a 200wpc McIntosh integrated amp. The Krell does use fans instead of having the large heat sinks. They power up when the amp has a high load and turn off as soon at the load drops back down
