Default Transistors - Old Technology?

Krell use bipolars, IIRC.



So do Technics in the o/p stage, MOSFETS in the signal stages.


My point was that Krell still represent the very tip top of current power
amp technology, e.g. their "Full Power Balanced" 600 WPC amp which I cited
on here recently. ISTR the review said there wasn't a single MOSFET in the
amp; it's all bipolar. So it can be done with bipolar transistors.

I have no particular axe to grind here. I'm happy with my valve amp but I'm
currently also looking for a big solid state (low op/p Z) power amp too.
