From memory Stewart has a Krell amp, if all "good" amps

that amps sound "good" or was it their robust build quality that justified
the additional outlay ?


This old warhorse gets dragged out regularly. I use insensitive 3-ohm
speakers, and while my Audiolab (and several other amps) sounds just
like the Krell, it gets *very* hot after half an hour or so at high
SPLs. Hence, the Krell is there because it drives the speakers with
ease, not because it sounds different.


so did you get the Krell or the Apogees first?
And what speakers were you using before the Apogees?

Hmmmm, I don't like the chances of running your Apogees through my 8000S
.... my amp gets really hot in the Australian summer just driving a
nomimal 8 Ohm pair of speakers ...

(of course, it could be because my room gets the afternoon sun and the
amp could probably do with more clearance in the rack for ventilation)
