Krell Duo 300 compared to Evo 302e or 402e?

Hi I am looking for an amp to power some Revel Salon 2s and wondering about these amps. From all I can read it seems that the 302e or 402e would be a good amp for the Salon 2s but the new Duo 300 with it's cooler running demeanor is definitely appealing. I am wondering if anyone out there has compared these or owned both and can shed some light on this?

I've heard of inital problems with the new amp design and/or parts. That being said, I'm listening to one of the matching preamps right now, an Illusion II and it is fabulous. Very sweet, dynamic and great PRAT. The aesthetic design and execution is a bit different, admitedly, but the sonics are superior to the Evo series thus far.

15 years ago, I believe it was a KSA 100.
Then an FPB 250 with KCT.
Then 302e.
Now the Duo 300.

Still very happy.

Audiolabyrinth,
Please tell us, what Krell amps have you owned or listened to that are so much better than those listed by Ajpk? The Krell Evo 302E is a very good amp. Not quite as good as their Evo E series mono blocks, but still excellent.
