Review 2 of 2 Summary:
This amplifier was designed over 15 years ago and is really at home within a high end Naim system.
You will need at least two to drive your speakers. I have gone active with my SBL's with 4. You can go to 6 but that's another story.
The cabinet is standard large Naim with a asingle on / off button and the backlit logo. unlike other naim amps it has a fan with a port on the back of the unit. It's very heavy weighing about 30lbs. Four of them are back breaking.
Although measured output is about 75 watts these amps can reach prodigious sound levels with no distortion at all.
How do they sound ?
They have rhythm. RWhat do i mean by that. They seem to pick up the beat of music in a wonderfully natural way and hold your attention. I get more involved in the performance or track with these amps than anything else I've ever heard.
The Krells' present great sound stages and are greta hifi amps. These if I can be so bold are great music amps. Those who criticise these amps claim they are shut in. I disagree.
They get better at louder volumes, should never be turned off and sound different when they are warmed up.
After about 8 years of owning them I can imagine no other amp in my system.
Blues, rock, techno, jazz, classical. I go from Mozart to lauryn Hill via John Coltrane and Crystal Method. It all sounds great.
Hope this is useful - Email me if you have questions
