Krell New Pre-amps?
Keith,I am very happy with my bi-wired Kimber Kable loud speaker speaker cable KS 3033 (6 ft length). It is excellent, well designed speaker cable. I appreciate your recommendation and effort to help me improve my set-up, however, I highly doubt t...

1) The next major upgrade/update of my system would be speakers (maybe Vivid, Magico, Yg Acoustics, etc.). After a speaker overhaul, I might consider updating/upgrading cable. Buying 10's of thousands of dollars worth of cable with my current B&am...

Keith,I am responding to your email message on the Audiogon forum rather than directly by email because I would like to hear what other members have to say about my opinion on this topic.Unlike pre-amps, power amps, front end, and speakers, all of...

Keith,Speaking of cable for Krell equipment: I never asked Patrick, or anyone else at Krell what speaker cable they recommend with Krell equipment. But, if you look at their cable choice at shows, that should be a good indication of what they thin...

Hi Keith:Give me two or 3 options:Option 1: Unlimited budget.Option 2: Best performance for the money.Option 3: What would you do?

Aaudiolabyrinth:"I believe you can get far more performance out of what you have with better cables, if you have questions on what I am getting at, just ask, I am not a dealer, nor do I work for any audio company, my interconnect is balanced,"O.K....

Jmcgrogan2"I concur. I have found it much easier to find an amp or even speakers that I can live with than a preamplifier. When you find the right preamp your whole system comes to life. That is why I consider the preamp to be the heart and soul o...

Audiolabyrinth,I am curious, what did Patrick say about Evo 2, Evo 202, Phantom and Evo 707 pre-amps?

C2300mc275:I have never listened to the Krell 7.1 hts, so I can't comment on it's performance.Audiolabyrinth:I never directly compared the Evo 707 to the Evo 202. I haven't listened to the Evo 202 in many years, and have limited memory and experie...

Interesting, check out www.milliondollarstereos.com, their 2.284 million dollar system uses the Krell Evo 707 processor. I guess they also feel this is currently the best processor available.

Audiolabyrinth,If you want a processor that sounds great with stereo music and with 5.1 or 7.1 master audio BluRay discs, buy an Evo 707. If you plan to use the unit for stereo music only, you don't need the Evo 707. If that is the case, you might...

Krell is in business to make money. The enormous, heavy, high end products they used to make appeal to an extremely small group of consumers. The younger generations currently appear to be more interested in convenience and portable music than gre... 
Krell New Pre-amps?
Audiolabyrinth,The 707 retailed for $30,000. The pre-amp section for all 7 channels in the EVO 707 are identical and very close to the Evo 2. The Evo 2 is an ultra high end pre-amp that retailed for $40,000 (maybe $50,000) for a 2 channel pre-amp....

Audiolabyrinth,I was not unhappy with the Krell KCT, thought it was a very good pre-amp. I purchased the EVO 707 when it was first released. I was one of the first to own this amazing processor. There were a lot of 'buggy' problems related to HDMI...

The pre-amp section in my Krell Evo 707 is fantastic, much better than the Krell KCT, my prior pre-amp. The comparison is not even close.
