krell for smoothness, sweet treble and 'American' bass.
AVI for detail and soundstage.

Just my guess....

[Ya-Boo]

krell....... soundstage, depth and base.....dont need to use the central heating ...

AVI: detail and attack .

Krell win's .......AVI in classified's

so he makes that standard of produce, exports them to china, for a cheaper price??

humm methinks someone should pull him up if this is true..people can't claim work as their own if its not.

 

[Ya-Boo]

I can only guess that by"building them" he really means "upgrades" them,maybe he gets them as a kit?
well who know's...... I could have lived with it in my 2nd system
but my love of the old krell means somthing had to go.

and I,ve no regrets.............

 

[Lt Cdr Data]

how do the krells compare to the icon

 

[Ya-Boo]

well no comparison imo, Icon in isolation is o.k. does what cheapish valve amps do... nice sweet vocals, entertaining .
o.k........ kinda

yah boo

glad to hear that it was all right on the night. I have a secret yearning for a krell. The shame of it is any spare cash gets diverted at source into the baby fund, read the 'my wife wants to give up work' fund
