'Hijacking' a couple of pics from another thread, of a pair of MRA of my ex-neighbor (he is more of neighbor now to Jack) who owned them many years ago but now has moved over to Nelson Pass' big amps and Wilson X2s.




I was told it took 4 people (at least) to carry each of these amps.





This is one of the cleanest and punchiest bass producing system I have heard, playing Sheffield Lab's James Newton Howard and Friends, the kick drum and percussion is one of the best I've heard at almost live levels.
Wow...how do those 2 systems compare?

Well, I noticed that the pictures above show a Krell MRA without captive power cords. That is strange becuase the original Krell MRA actually has a captive power cord. The US version has a pair of power cords feeding the power supply in paralell. The European version has only one power cord. My was imported from Japan. They had to go through the local distributor to have some mechanical and software updates to work here. They are now the Euro version with one captive power cord on each amp. Yes, I have beefed up the power lines. They have been connected to a 230V 32A line each with a 20 square mm conductor size in-wall solid core copper cable all the way from the electricity company's transformer down the street to the wall outlets (which are of the round industrial type).

Am sure it sounds glorious , please keep us posted on how it mates with the Q7 's when they arrive . Will be quite the pairing !!

Yes, It is my system from before we renovated the living room. The Krell Evolution 2 preamp was a loaner and not a permanent resident.

I posted a picture of how it looks now a couple of pages ago in this thread. Here is one more of the new room during renovation (with one of the other pairs of Audio Physic speakers I have now sold)

Actually the Q7 will not be playing with the Krell MRA. Next week the Dynaudio Arbiter will be arriving here and they will be the permanent mate for the Q7. The Krell MRA are waiting for some new Tidal Audio speakers to play with.
