Hello,

I have been looking for a second Krell 800 Series Bass Alignment Filter (BAF) so that I can run my system entirely in balanced mode. Any thoughts on where to find one would be highly appreciated.

Thank you,

Swelfelo

Lee,

Yeah it was. I thought I was sol, but providence smiled on me and here I am all set after a six month search. Finding these units was like looking for duck lips.

The first one had arrived doa (blown capacitors) and to be sent to Krell for repairs (the seller swore that it was working when he sold it, but that would have been pretty much unlikely). The second one arrived in working condition.

The completed set up involves four mono amps so that I am not running the all too critical midrange and upper frequencies through any active filters. The bass is now taut and extended. I had been using an equalizer but my settings, and although I thought they were conservative, the boost was slopping into areas that did not need to be enhanced. All in all the Krell BAFs deserve their vaunted reputation. I also own the B&W BAF and a custom built singe ended BAF, but the Krells seem cleaner and more precise.
