Krell 400xi vs s300i ----

Anyone had the chance to compare the new s300i to the 400xi? I was ready to go ahead and purchase the 300, but my local dealer decided to throw a wrench in my decision by telling me about a pretty good deal he has on a 400xi demo. Speakers will be Totem Forests. Thanks for any thoughts....

Thanks for the info. I did a quick search here but did not find anything specifically comparing these two. I hope I will get the chance to listen to both. I've heard the 400 with the Forests and it sounded amazing. I am a little curious about having the Ipod input on the 300 however. The ipod connection would be useful.....

Here are a couple. The 2nd thread was a few months ago I spoke of (This is a good thread comparing the two). Just search Krell 400xi integrated amp or s300i and you should find plenty of threads :)

Audiogon member Dave_b pretty much nailed the sound of this amp. I auditioned the 300i in a dealer showroom and completely agree with Dave's assessment. In addition to what Dave has already said I am impressed by the amp's ability to capture the ambivance of the recording. A slight trace of coldness and tone missing I didn't strike a deal right there and then though.
