    New B&W owner

    Hi Guys,
    I am new to this site and a new B&W owner. I have a pair of CDM7nt's and a CDMCNT center. I use Polk ls/fx for surrounds. I am using a Krell Kav 250a and Krell Kav250p for 2 channel listening. Great sound. I also use an Outlaw 950 pre/pro and M200 monoblock to push the center.
    A Marantz cd5400 cd player for source.

    This forum looks great so far. I look forward to chatting with you guys in the future.
    best regards,
    Jeremy

      Welcome.

      That's some pretty impressive power for your CDMs. I always figured Krell and Nautilus went hand in hand. I use Rotel gear for my HT and a Classe integrated for my Nautilus 804s. Is it true that Krell brings out the bass better than just about anyone?

          Hi Mark

          Hi Mark,
          Thanks for the welcome. In the last month I actually did a major upgrade to my system. I was using some Polk speakers I had for my system with Outlaw M200 monoblocks (200 watts) when I came upon a great deal for the B&W's from a local dealer who was clearancing out the floor models. I ended up paying $1200 for the CDM7NT's and the CDMCNT. I had an Outlaw M200 on all of them and it sounded very good. I have heard from many B&W owners that Rotel was by far the best amp to mate with B&W speakers. Very smooth symetry. I was planning to try a Rotel amp when I cam on another great deal for the used Krell's, so I jumped at it. As many have said, Krell amps are very sounding, punchy but articulate. I think they mate very well with my CDM's. It is a bit of overkil I think because I heard that Krells are underated. Putting 250 watts is probably more around the high 300 watts, to a speaker rated at 150 wattss.But the sound is good. Of course, if I got a great deal on some 800 series, i would take it, sell my cdm's and have the Krells to make them sing. But so far I am very happy with the CDM7nt's and the center. The Krells definatly make the bass better, deeper. Those 804's must sound awesome. Classe and Rotel I think are the same company, and I have heard sound great
          with B&W's.

                  Krell HTS 7.1/Showcase processor experiences please
                  by ShadowZA
                  I'm on "final approach" with regard to my proccessor upgrade.

                  My shortlist consisted of 3 processors:

                  - Meridian G61
                  - Krell Showcase processor
                  - Krell HTS

                  The Meridian G61 processor is not my favourite at the moment for the following...

                  I spent about four hours at my local hifi shop yesterday listening to various combinations of gear from Paradigm (Signature Line), Thiel, Rotel, and Krell.

                  After listening to my Signature S4's at home for many hours I have picked up on a couple things I would like to improve upon with...

                  New Krell Showcase pieces!
                  by Lex
                  Anybody seen or read up on the new Krell Showcase pre-processor and amplifier? Looks to be a real competitor coming in at 4K for the pre-pro fully decked out with balanced inputs and outputs. Of course, the normal plethora of sound processing is standard, RS-232 for software updates, stainless front,...

                  Classe or Krell exchange?
                  by SRT-10 Viper
                  I have 800D fronts with N802 rear speakers, HTM2D center, and Velodyne DD12. For 5.1 HT, I have a Denon 5805 (now changing Denon for an Anthem D1 and Krell TAS 5X200W), Clasee CAM/350s amp for front 2 channels. For 2Ch preamp, I have a Classe CP-500 that has HT pass thru.
