Best preamp under 5k for Krell amp


I have acquired a brand new Krell FPB 300c amp and with what little money I have left I need a preamp. I will be powering Martin Logan SL3 speakers. All advice appreciated.

hi audiocaptain,

funny, i thought the melos music director was the best preamp, period... ;~)

regards, doug

I have M.L. Quest Zs with Krell amp & cd. I have had Sonic Frontiers Line 1,2,3 in my system with excellent results. All are listed on this site for less than 5K. I am now using the Line 3 & sold my Line 1 to a friend who has a pair of Sequels powered by a Krell amp. The Line 1 is excellent value for the dollar, the 2 has a bigger soundstage & the 3 has all the above plus bass to die for. Good luck in your decision.
To follow up on this thread,

does anyone have suggestions for a 2-channel preamp (tube or SS) for running with a Krell KSA-150 amp and Thiel 3.6 speakers? I want to keep the price well below $5K.
