    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    That must have been before the internet was around, so no-one knew that they are expensive to fix, run too hot, won't work well with sensitive speakers, don't sound very good anyway and aren't really class A. (Did I miss anything ).

    It's temporarily in, on, my speakers aren't on fire, the ceiling is in tact and it's sounding like it works.

    So far so good.

    If the OP wants to buy a Krell amp, than hell yes but exactly why? It won’t be for pure SQ as it can be beaten by a modern muscle amp like a Bryston 4B3 (I know I’m biased). If someone want to own the muscle amp that (probably) started it all then look lovingly at this iconic bit of kit on his rack, then I say go for it.

    Hi Clive,

    Ok, I bought it because I wanted to, no other reason. I haven't heard this model before, I haven't had a "muscle amp" previously and this one was in the budget.

    SQ, not instantly seeing it's not up to standard to be honest. It hasn't got a great pair of cables attached and yet its very good. Better to come.

    First few tracks are quite encouraging. Soundstage is F'ing huge!!!

    Effortless, sweet and I'd suggest impossible to tell it's a SS design.
