Krell FPB 400CX, Bel Canto Ref1000 MkII

Hey Guys,

I just got a new pair of Revel Gems and was wondering what amp you thought would be a better choice in my system. I have a placette passive linestage, wadia 7 transport going into a levinson 30.5 DAC and hopefully a nice turntable soon, oh and a Revel B15 sub. I know these amps are pretty different Krell is huge class A and the Bel Cantos are tiny(in size not power) class D.

Any thoughts would be great.

Thanks

Or maybe a hill, even.

If you're looking for more weight, Dave, maybe you should give the Gilmore Raptor mono's a listen. They are 37lbs each and are class D. They have a massive linear power supply, a 1/2 thick aircraft aluminum case, and double their power into 4 ohms.

I happen to think they sound excellent, especially with a good tube preamp.

Jeepers, let's see (big breath)...ARC VT100 and 200, ARC HD220 and Vs110, Levinson 332 and 336, Krell FPB600, 400cx, Evo402, 350MCX's, MF A5, Mcintosh MC501's...perhaps I should stop and let Audiofeil add some of the amps he has "OWNED" or are they all for sale in your shop?
