KR Audio Kronzilla monoblocks


Has anybody heard them at CES, how was the sound of the system?

I heard a Kronzilla at AXPONA.  It was a stereo amp, not the monos.  It is the primary reason I started working with Eunice and KR.  I was surprised how quiet it is.  Extremely natural sound.  A bit rolled off so they work really well with brighter speakers like Focals.  With a warmer speaker like a Vandersteen, it would be dark.  Think the warmth of a 300B but with the clarity and natural presentation of an 845 rather than the mid-range lushness.  I really liked it.   I was running 845 based monos in my room which are a bit more in-your-face in terms of tonality so I had a really good contrast.  I also had the new Western Electric folks next to me. I listened to all three (300B, Kronzilla and 845) within an hour of each other.   If you have heard a 520B, 1605 or T100, they progressively get closer to the sound of the 1610 Kronzilla.  

The tubes are pricey but they are estimated to last 30K hours so you are not replacing them frequently.  I talk to Marek and Eunice frequently and would be happy to relay any questions that I can't answer.
