Krell K 300i Vs Hegel 390 Help


Hello friends of the forum, how are you?
I am in the market interested in these two amplifiers:
1- Krell k 300i
2- Hegel 390
I would like to hear comments from those who have tried them.
It would be to replace my Rotel 1592 and handle my Bowers 805 d3 speakers
Thank you very much

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
Jesam totally wrong the krellis much warmer this is the new siund of krell

We have both krell and hegel.im the same sound room

Thanks for your answer.
My salesperson in Argentina tells me that the Vanguard is built in the USA and that the new Krell is in China but that they both sound very similar.
say more troy!!  tell us how it compares against the hegels...

the new hot sh&t krell against which hegel?  h390?  590?  what speakers?  what source feed?

i am happy to hear krell is now making warm sounding solid state, the old stuff hurt my ears
