80's Krell V's avi fight out

happening at my gaff saturday eve...............

I'm unbiased cos I,ve just bought another one ...

the loser is up for sale.......

and the winner will be.........??

 

My money is on the Krell

 

krell for smoothness, sweet treble and 'American' bass.
AVI for detail and soundstage.

Just my guess....

Darren

 

krell....... soundstage, depth and base.....dont need to use the central heating ...

AVI: detail and attack .

Krell win's .......AVI in classified's

 

Ya boo

Though you would perfer the Krell. Have you bought the KSA50 yet? Did you see the KSA100 on hififorsale for £450?

yep been playing music all day long.........

wife hates it, but then she did with my old one

 

hi kevan...Ian here, check this out on the icon

this is the original maker..

well thats a bloody suprise.......he told me they were all his work...

sold it now anyway, still is a good amp for the money s/hand

 

so he makes that standard of produce, exports them to china, for a cheaper price??

humm methinks someone should pull him up if this is true..people can't claim work as their own if its not.

 

I can only guess that by"building them" he really means "upgrades" them,maybe he gets them as a kit?
well who know's...... I could have lived with it in my 2nd system
but my love of the old krell means somthing had to go.

and I,ve no regrets.............

 

how do the krells compare to the icon

 

well no comparison imo, Icon in isolation is o.k. does what cheapish valve amps do... nice sweet vocals, entertaining .
o.k........ kinda

 

yah boo

glad to hear that it was all right on the night. I have a secret yearning for a krell. The shame of it is any spare cash gets diverted at source into the baby fund, read the 'my wife wants to give up work' fund
