Strengths: Gorgeous piece of equipment. A work of art. Marquis brand. Clean clear power. Pride in ownership. Great resale value if bought used. Good packaging.Weaknesses: Runs hot. Long warm up. Seemed underpowered to me at loud volume -- lots of clean power, but did not sound at ease.Bottom Line: Used with Watt Puppies 6, tube pre and transparent cables. Nice at very low volumes. Natural sound for solid state but a little lean (or too perfect?) in the midrange. Not at ease at high volume. Does not sound best on start up -- sounds better every hour - if cost no object leave it on (not me). Gets hot. Nice amp for an apartment in cold climate (again not me).

Strengths: excellent control, superb overall sound, great bass. details and phenomenal resolution, very luxurious sound with huge power reserve.Weaknesses: better if you have a friend over to help pick it upBottom Line: krell has created something special here with the evolution 402. It is very natural sounding, probably the closest sound reproduction that I have heard. My Amati Anniversarios work well with the 400 watts. Krell is a wonderful match for them. I have 3 other systems with tube amps which are very good and I tested many superb tube amps (otl,ocl and with transformers) with the Amati's. The krell evo 402 sounds just as good in the midrange but much nicer sound overall , from the lows to the highs it is exquisite, superb contol and that famous krell slam. I am a fond lover of the tube sound and for years have never found any solid state that I could enjoy except now with this wonderful new krell , it is niether tubelike nor solidstate, its just real pure hifi sound.
