b&k amps

Were talikin value here, not absolutes. For the money you can do a whole lot worse and be hard pressed to find their better for the power they offer.

Love my B&K Reference 4430 200w 3channel. Very neutral. Mates very well with Klipsch speakers(KG4's and RF-63's). Built like a bomb shelter. Cool running. Very good used prices. Built in the USA.

Talikin? I meant talking of course and they are built well in the USA!!

Dave - Can you explain your comment on Krell abandoning their principles in favor of euro guidelines. Thanks, Andy

I bought the whole evolution rig to see what Krell was up to with their new designs and I was not happy at all. The sweetness, liquidity and tonality of the gear is gone in favor of a greyish, smoothed over brittle character. Parts are now off the shelf, parts count on the amps is almost doubled and NOT Class A anymore plus they chose to impose AC filtering into the amps (no choice for the end user). Only the Evo One and Two stuff is true class A biased anymore. FPB was Krell at their best.
