Have had Krell in the past but have not heard these units. I'm writing to say that Music Direct will let you try these for 30 days and if I were in the market....
In a recent review in HIFICRITIC Martin Colloms found that the Krell S300i integrated had a very robust power output and considerably outdistanced some of their older large amps. These SHOULD be even better but in audio very little is certain.
One of the things I believe Krell always does is under-rate the watts and if you look at the high current capabilities (doubling of watts from 8 to 4 ohms) I don't think clipping or speaker matching will be a problem. I did look at the Music Direct website and these units are on back order. Not surprising with a great TAS approval.
