Currently using a Musical Fidelity pre/power (308 pre/power) rated at 250/8 and 450/4.
This combo had no problem driving Kef reference 3.2's to ear-shattering levels with lots in reserve.
Now,obviously the Kefs are a damn sight easier load but i'm having to crank the pre to 12 o'clock (midway) to get decent volume from the Logans !
Sorry - my point...
How would something like a Krell 400xi integrated handle the Sequels?
Anyone using this combo (or the Krell driving the older 'statics)?
I have fond memories of a 300i I owned some years ago - great bass but not the most neutral of performers - aparently the 400 'fixes' this problem.
In an ideal world I'd be demo-ing some Krell pre/powers or something from Levinson but this is the real world and imminent house purchase means i'm having the set my sights a little lower.
The MF pair could be sold giving me enough to go for a Krell 400xi with a little change - it would also free up some rack space.
Any comments most welcome (unless they're along the lines of 'go for the X amp for $25,000 ).
I'm in the UK btw so whilst a lot of gear is available some of the usual suspects fetch rediculous prices on the used market and are difficult to track down - Mcintosh and Sunfire springs to mind.
Many thanks,
Steve
