Hi there.. Since i still didnt upgrade my rotels, i have a dilema now what to get..
Rest of my setup is Benchmark DAC1 Pre, McIntosh C2300...
In this moment i have on test Krell FPB-300C which i like how it sound with my combination.. Im worried about the fact that is 11 years old and that Krell sugest since this is A class AMP to be serviced every 10 years (capacitors maintence). That's not an option to me, becouse i have to send it to the factory and it's far away from here and very expensive. Also the box is lost so it's even more complicated about shipping if i have to do it.. Im not sure how long it would work like this and if that maintence is really needed or it can serve next 5-10 years without problems?
Again.. i like the sound it's producing with my B&W 803s. Very musical, powerfull and fast..
I had a chance to try MC501 year ago, and since i like the clean sound, i miss some PRAT and bass power (there was a bit slow sound).
From reading reviews and previews seem that new MC452 it's a bit faster and better bass control so it can be the right one.. Problem is i cant listen it and have to order blindly..
Also considering MC302.. Same problem as MC452. Cant listen it and have to order blindly..
Also there is a option of ordering MC402 and MC252 but since the new models seem like a worth upgrade i dont consider it..(also not a chance or option to listen)
What do u think to do? To take a risc (about possible maintence) with Krell? Or to go Brand New McIntosh route? Also what is the prices of this McIntosh amps in Europe? And how much discount is normal to get?
Greetings
