    best way to use Krell amp with 803N

    Hey all

    Just took possion of a Krell 5 channel home theater standard last week, everything is hooked up, but waiting on some XLR Y 's to bi-amp my 803N,( which are most likely going to turn into 802D's in the near future, upgraditis has a full hold on me) , anyway

    i was wanting some opinions, as i noticed i could switch 4 of the Krell channels into 2, thus doubling it to 400 watts at 8ohms, and like all amps doubling again at 4 ohms to 800

    or do you think the bi-amp way would be a better approach,

    i know it's somewhat speculative, just want some opinions

    on a side note, just running it bi-wired thru 2 channels, comparing it to the kav3250 i was using, which is now relegated to rear surrounds and rear center, even though it is rated at the same watt's, the theater standard really add's a noticable difference in sound quality

    i can only imagibe what it will be like when i can use all it's power

    thanks

    IMHO Biamp is better than 2x400 reasoning being that you are not getter more quality but just more power (+dbs) where as biamping might add some quality

    200w is plenty for the 803

      Hello Folks,

      Few days ago, i´ve listened the Krell KCT and FPB400CX combo with 803D (wich ive already own). The 400CX is a stereo 2x400 amp. I´ve enjoyed the macrodynamic and the bass. Surely could be the amp to me, as I like more energetic music like Rock, Hard rock and metal. But,...

      I have a rotel 1057 receiver and a krell amp. Should I just biwire w/ the krell or should I bi amp with the receiver and the krell amp?

      I am considering purchasing a second Rotel 1095 unit to biamp two 1095 units (2x 200w x 5) which would allow me to biamp my center and two fronts (six channels) and then use a single channel for surrounds and rears. I was thinking of upgrading the fronts by adding a 2 channel amp while now getting...

      To Biamp or not to Biamp

      I'm having thoughts about upgrading my system and want some advice on which direction to proceed. Currently I have a RMB1075 driving the fronts center and side surrounds of a 7.1 system with a RB1050 driving the rears. I have contemplated two different possibilities. The first is to change the 1050...
