| Best amp for B&W Nautilus 804s - Primare/Naim/MF? Invest in an MFA5 or Krell400xi and you may have all you'll ever need for power. Look for a demo Cd player or a value brand such as NAD, Marantz, Rotel etc. | |
| Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers? What are your speakers?? Pre?? Source??? | |
| What is the best Krell Cast cable? I enjoyed my evo gear most with a great balanced cable from pre to amp but with a Transparent Cast connection from the 505 to the 202. This combination gave me the most dynamic, full musical sound possible IMHO. | |
| Will a new DAC make an improvement in sound? What is your transport?? Single box players have less compatability issues IMHO. BAT DK5 is a great player. | |
| Verity The Encores should have plenty of bass depending on placement, cables and amplification. The Shindo's are low powered no?? Any speaker needs to be controlled and told what to do...low power may be euphonic for some types of music, but falls short ... | |

| Speaker direction? I would disagree somewhat in the notion that new generation digital music listeners will ever evolve into an audiophile (best sense of the word intended). They may love what they are listening to, but most of what is being consumed is crap. Music ... | |
| Speaker direction? Calldr, I grew up listening to music in a basement with the lights out. The ipod generation will never understand the complete immersion that is possible with music. Not only has music been dumbed down, but the art of listening has as well...along... | |
| Speaker direction? Raquel, I assume you are a woman, because you are correct in everything you said:) Of course, I was generalizing for the average system and the most common mistakes made by audiophiles. I have owned many reference systems, but most were digital ba... | |
| Review: Krell EVO 402/Evo202 Amplifier Ax2cohen, my post is old...sold the tube stuff and went back to previous gen Krell. I could not warm up to the Evo sound, especially the 402 (not class A anymore). It's all great stuff however..enjoy!! | |
| NAD M3/Marantz PM11 I have a ton of experience with a ton of both seperates and integrateds, especially the brands your looking into. I would get the 400xi but mated with an exceptional PC and IC set, together with a great balanced CD/SACD player. The upgraded SACD s... | |
| CD player for Mcintosh/Krell int amp It's never as simple as that I'm afraid..wish it were, would have saved many thousands of dollars over the years. Once one does their best choosing components based on thier preferences, the job has just begun. Cabling is something I am extremely ... | |
| CD player for Mcintosh/Krell int amp I meant to say you are so full of information Fafafion:) I've owned the FBI...nice piece, but not 15K worth better. I know the design arguments from way back when balanced was pro only gear. My experience with the countless number of HiFi kit that... | |
| CD player for Mcintosh/Krell int amp In case I wasn't clear, the 400xi is fully balanced from input tp output...FYI:) | |
| CD player for Mcintosh/Krell int amp Fafafaffull of (insert explitive). The 400xi should only be run balanced, it is far less musical et al in rca mode. I've owned almost everything Krell has offered over the last decade. All reviews have confirmed this. |
