cooling my Krell monoblocks

Not to worry Mechans - I wouldn't dare try it as a DIY! LOL! I have absolutely no idea what the heatsink tape is made of . . . guess that would be another question for Krell.

I believe the "Krell" name comes from a science fiction movie.

You Guys are KILLING me.

The Krell were a mythical race in the '50s SciFi classic
'Forbidden Planet'.
Just my opin, but one of the most literate / intelligent well paced SciFi flicks ever.
A great cast including a very young Ann Francis among many others, including Leslie Nielsen in an early, serious role.

And, from the Audiophile standpoint an incredibly interesting soundtrack with all Theramin music/effects. (pre MOOG by several decades) Must hear on good system, but you already knew THAT.

The Krell were the whole point of that film – they became so technologically advanced that they created a machine that could make their thoughts turn into reality – while they obviously created the machine with the best of intentions – to completely eliminate any suffering or pain in their society … when they turned the machine on it took only one day to completely destroy their civilization and Krell race was then extinct. The movie was written in the 50’s – the beginning of the nuclear age – and it was meant to serve as a warning that our relentless pursuit of science and technological advancement could have dire consequences. It also carried a more profound message regarding the inherently evil and corrupt nature of power – the Krell achieved ultimate power only to have it result in their complete annihilation

i am scared of my amp now...

Richard,

Some film critics have interpreted the Krell as a metaphor for communist hegemony. Does your amp tend to image left of center? If so, take the wife and kids and run...
