Krell Evo vs Evo-enhance


Hello

I am considering between krell evo402 and 402e; beside evo400 and evo400e mono blocks. I have not audited them so not sure which are the most significant differences. are the new E amps better than the older evo ones?

In addition, how do you compare the above krell evo with pass labs xa 100.5 or goldmund telos 200 or Perreaux 750 or dartzeel nhb108 mondel 1 power amp?

Many thanks

@Mert,

We would sligthly turn to off-topic if discuss now all possible "in-wall" variables that affect sound... They exist, as well as the speaker-itself issues. Of course, I agree that on some 92-93db speaker sensitivity (say, Focal) a good deal of inherent advantages better power supply brings will be less audible.

I said, and I still maintain that a pair of 400W monoblocks should be way better than 400Wpc stereo amp from the same manufacturer. A few spec details I quoted just support that statement. Nothing else.
07-09-11: Mert ... However, there is a few factors: quality of elec. will stay constant when you turn two 400 on?
Will you be getting exactly 235V(europe) 0r 110V(states)for each amp?
Is your house or flat made by audiophile friendly construction company?
Can you see what wire is hidden in wall?
I can list at least 10 more variables which may affect the performance of a power amp.
I hardly satisfy one, I wouldn't take two.

Mert, I have a suggestion, how about a boombox? ONE variable!

I do have more a than boombox I guess, please post your variable/variables and share your deep, extensive knowlodge here with despirate audiogon folks.
If you don't have one, your mother's would be just fine:)
Going fishing now!!!!
There are many variables to a system. The success of a system is a result on the synergy between these variables.

I just find your concern (variable) that both monos are getting the proper electricity a bit over the top. I would assume the comparison between mono to stereo is keeping everything (system) constant and just swapping the amps and compare.

I guess it depends on the construction of your house and if you are concern about the wiring, it should be fairly easy to rewire a room.
Also I have 2 dedicated 20 amp lines for my sound system. Both lines are stable @120V. My mono amps are plugged directly into the wall outlets using 1 line so the variable where monos are not getting same juice is not on my list.

Besides sound, size/weight and flexible should be considered between stereo and monos. My last stereo amp was a Krell FPB600 and it was a PITA to move so will avoid big stereo amps in the future.

With monos, you can use shorter SC. My speakers are 13' apart c2c so monos work well in the configuration.
