Krell K 300i Vs Hegel 390 Help

Could someone tell me if there are many differences between the new Krell K300i and the Vanguard?

@auxinput... the Hegel is not in any way bright or harsh. At least to my ears...

@jjss49 or it comes in a different shade of black!

The new Krell K300i is probably somewhat similar to the Vanguard integrated.  The Vanguard is part of the first Solo/Duo/Trio/Chorus line of amps.  These are also voiced on the lush/smooth side.

The older S-300i integrated is part of the Evolution generation of Krell equipment.  It is much cleaner and higher resolution without the amount of "bipolar Class A" type of lush/smooth sound that the current generation has.

i haven’t owned a krell piece for about 5-7 years now, and the piece i owned would be 10-12 years old now - it was as i described - but if newer krell units have been voiced warmer and more listenable on most speakers, good for them... nice when old dogs learn new tricks

and as said below... hegels are not bright and harsh - not by a long shot... if you hear a properly working hegel unit playing bright and harsh tones, it is something else in the chain, not the hegel
