cooling my Krell monoblocks

The Krell were the whole point of that film – they became so technologically advanced that they created a machine that could make their thoughts turn into reality – while they obviously created the machine with the best of intentions – to completely eliminate any suffering or pain in their society … when they turned the machine on it took only one day to completely destroy their civilization and Krell race was then extinct. The movie was written in the 50’s – the beginning of the nuclear age – and it was meant to serve as a warning that our relentless pursuit of science and technological advancement could have dire consequences. It also carried a more profound message regarding the inherently evil and corrupt nature of power – the Krell achieved ultimate power only to have it result in their complete annihilation

i am scared of my amp now...

Richard,

Some film critics have interpreted the Krell as a metaphor for communist hegemony. Does your amp tend to image left of center? If so, take the wife and kids and run...

Actually, Forbidden Planet was based on Shakespeares 'The Tempest'.

Wow! I have learned WAY more than I bargained for when I was only looking for info about cooling my Krells. LOL. . . From what I am reading The Krells may still be alive today, in our living rooms . . just waiting for their supreme commander to give the signal to morph into superior beings and "think" our systems into something way beyond our wildest dreams. . . or turn us into molecular dust.

It's odd the way that audiophiles do just the opposite. They think that their stereos don't sound as good as they could and relentlessly try to improve them. For many it's a futile effort to achieve something they have already, great sound. The average system that an audiogon member has sounds good, period especially when viewed on an absolute scale. The top 1% of all the sound reproduction extant I'd venture. Is it Krellian perfection? No and never will be for many.
Me- I am happy... I think... you know the other day something just didn't click (pun).....the sound no longer ...I might need to...roll the tubes again... no it's those analytic speakers biting you again ... no it's....the room but ... Oh no
