for cables i use older mit comparable to the oracle line today. speaker cables are mit mh850 and interconnects are mit 350 proline reference. both can be had for pennies on the used market compared to their original value (and performance). i find these cables add a more natural flavor and tame some of the big krell's aggressiveness. i am actually in search of a preamp so i do not have any input on that match. i have been using my theta processor which has been adequate but not the best overall preamp mate.
Krell primer?
I was hoping some folks could give me a primer on Krell amps. I’m in perpetual upgrade planning mode and have seen a number of Krell amps coming through A-Gon. I thought I’d ask for opinions. It seems that the FPB and KSA lines, which I gather are at least ten years old, are relatively reasonable in price and seem well respected. Can anyone comment on their sound? How much heat do they throw? Are there any ongoing maintenance issues with the older amps? I understand Krell still services their older gear, much the way McIntosh does.
Any comments would be useful. Thanks!
