New Krell s550i Impressions?

@ Brenro, Hi, I agree with your post, A year ago I might not have agreed with you, I'm wanting to read about krell's first attempt at making these down market amps that's suppose to sound better than the evo E series amps that costed alot more money than the new krell amps, It would be nice if Dan D' Agostino would make his amps more cost friendly, instead what the momentum mono and stereo amps cost, something like a stereo amp with the power of my 700cx has and cost around $18,000.00 or less. I just totally renewed the 700cx at krell beyond the 2005 specs, krell claims it's the only one out there, costed alot of money!, they used caps that was not available in 2005 amongst other tweeks, To tell you the truth, I would like my next amp to be made by Dan D' Agostino, That is the reason I modded the 700cx, It reminds me of Dans former glory days, to me it was the last high quality built stereo amp krell made with Dan!

I can say with confidence with my HiDiamond HD-4 powercord,
And synergistic fuses this integrated is better then my brothers Pass 150
More detail power and control then Modwright, or Coda. IMO
You need to spend over $10k to better this unit.i have been using this with my YG Carmel speakers, as well as my Revel Perfoma 208 loudspeakers
Even at low volume excellent detail.
This integrated also has a verygood preamplifier section.
I would like to add what a Krell recommended a dedicated 20 amp line
Which I have as well as a dedicated 15 amp line for my digital with a 20 amp brick wall line filter ,and a 15 amp unit I owned and worked in a Hiend
Audio for well over 30 years. This is a great valued integrated amp!!

Great post Audioman58, I will look into the 550I.

Not all Krell amps need 20A power line. You should check manual

I had one for about an hour and the power supply went, Bought a Mac6700 instead MADE in USA not China
