Krell New Pre-amps?

Hi, has any one auditioned or own any of the new Krell pre-amps?, if so, How does the best from krell stack up against The krell KRC-HR and KCT, and anything else Krell has ever made for pre-amps?, also, what is the favorite Krell pre-amp of all time?, Thankyou to all, I thought this may be an interesting subject for everyone to chime in on, cheers.

Hi Keith:
Give me two or 3 options:
Option 1: Unlimited budget.
Option 2: Best performance for the money.
Option 3: What would you do?

Krell KBL, KRC-2, KRC-HR and KRC-3 pre all sock to my ears. Bright, flat 2D sound stage and grainy so never owned one. Once I migrated to tube pre, never bothered with SS pre since.

Now Krell amps are a different story. Had KSA100s, FPB300 and FPB600 and they are excellent for its VINTAGE. I enjoyed my time with them and found MIT cables best match. Transparent IC also very good but not SC ... too dark.

Thankyou Knghifi, Have you listened to the EVO 202, The Phantom, The reference 707 proccesor, or the Evo 2 pre-amps, These are said to be light years better than the pre-amps you have mentioned, that is funny you said that about the Transparent speaker cables on krell equipment, I have been told the same for years!
