Krell FPB 400CX, Bel Canto Ref1000 MkII


Hey Guys,

I just got a new pair of Revel Gems and was wondering what amp you thought would be a better choice in my system. I have a placette passive linestage, wadia 7 transport going into a levinson 30.5 DAC and hopefully a nice turntable soon, oh and a Revel B15 sub. I know these amps are pretty different Krell is huge class A and the Bel Cantos are tiny(in size not power) class D.

Any thoughts would be great.

Thanks

I've been to the mountain top, but kept cominh back to the 400xi...it just does it for me:O)
Or maybe a hill, even.

If you're looking for more weight, Dave, maybe you should give the Gilmore Raptor mono's a listen. They are 37lbs each and are class D. They have a massive linear power supply, a 1/2 thick aircraft aluminum case, and double their power into 4 ohms.

I happen to think they sound excellent, especially with a good tube preamp.

Jeepers, let's see (big breath)...ARC VT100 and 200, ARC HD220 and Vs110, Levinson 332 and 336, Krell FPB600, 400cx, Evo402, 350MCX's, MF A5, Mcintosh MC501's...perhaps I should stop and let Audiofeil add some of the amps he has "OWNED" or are they all for sale in your shop?
