    KAV 500 or show case 5

    I'm looking at these amps both used. What is the difference? I'm running a 7.1 system with B&W speakers. Listening to music and movies.
    Would one be better than the other?

    Thanks,

    The 500 is an older generation and the showcase is current. I have heard the showcase 5, but not the KAV-500 so I really couldn't make a valid comparison. The 5 is top notch though IMO.

      Hey guy, I am in the process of upgrading my processor (rsp-1066). Initially I was going to purchase the 1098 but taking a trip to my local dealer had my inpulses halted upon listening to Krell. Granted, I can't afford new krell or anything above krell's entry level (Kav).

      I can pick...

      I know the 804S/SF grand Piano Domus are close in pricing

      I listened this weekend to SF GP Domus as full range with Krell Showcase amplification and Showcase processor

      I also listened to my current favorite 802d with Classe Delta 5200 Amplification and classe SSP 300 and...

      Watch Out Krell, here comes Rotel:tales of the RMB 1077
      by DrJRapp
      To some that may seem like a presumptious title, but after spending about an hour now with the 1077 running 2 channel, it may be closer to the truth than many can imagine. The 1077 has real b---s and one doesn't need a wheelbarrow to cart it around either! While real critical listening will have to...

      I'm on "final approach" with regard to my proccessor upgrade.

      My shortlist consisted of 3 processors:

      - Meridian G61

      B&K PT5/ST125.2 or Rotel RC-1070/RB-1080(1070) or Krell KAV-400xi with B&W 604 S3 ??
      by AudioAddict
      Hi,

      I recently purchased B&W speakers model 604 S3, they are connected to B&K PT5 (pre) / ST 125.2 (amp). The speakers are awesome but I'm not sure about amp, that I got about year ago. I see that most of you use B&W's with Rotel's electronics, also the dealer was using Rotel...
