I have a KAV-400xi since 2004 with no problems. Make sure the unit has adequate ventilation. I use an extra set of rubber feet to give it 1.25" bottom clearance, Krell recommends at least 2" bottom clearance for proper ventilation. This unit, like most high-powered Amplifiers, should not be installed in tight places>cabinets/racks, it would be best to set-up on an open shelf or Amplifier stand.
Does the Krell KAV-400Xi overheat?
I ran accross this ariticle about the 400Xi:

The reviewer states the Krell might well overheat if used for a party. This worries me a bit. I don't play my music really loud, but I'm going to be running a pair of Usher CP-6381's which are only rated at an 87dB efficiency.
I had just about mad up my mind to buy this unit when I ran across this article.
Any 400Xi owners out there?
