What else to know about the Krell KRC?
"As for the preamp, tubiacs will still be tough to convince. You can't see its level-control–knob indicator LED from angles well off center. And I do miss a numerical readout of the level setting a la Rowland's Consummate. On the other hand, a super–high-end Krell preamp with just such a capability is said to be in the works. But it will be muy mucho mas expensivo, and its availability is still a good ways down the road. This review will not please those readers who complain that we review too much expensive stuff. (An equal number seem to complain that we review too much inexpensive stuff.) This Krell tandem costs more than I care to think about, and certainly there's plenty of solid-performing, less–budget-busting equipment out there capable of giving a great deal of pleasure. I am as bothered as any reader by the perceived growth in prices at the high end of the High End—a growth heavily fueled by demand for such products in certain overseas markets. But what can I say? Costly or not, there's no denying the bottom line: These Krells are the best-sounding preamplifier and power amplifier I have heard in my system." - Stereophile, NortonBrief History of McIntosh
