I have just bought an 18 month old Krell Evolution 2250e power amplifier for my French house. It is a Central European model 220v 50/60Hz. The voltage at my French house is around 245V, so to prevent it running hot, I think I should alter the dip switches next to the toroidal transformer for 240V. Are the settings the same as in the KAV 300iL I use in my UK house, which I believe are as follows:
1-1-1 110V
2-1-1 120V
2-2-1 220V
2-2-2 240V
My KAV 300iL, which I bought from a Japanese friend, when he gave up his apartment in London on retirement, was Japanese spec at 110V/50Hz and he used in the UK with a 240 to 110V transformer. The UK Krell agents, Absolute Sounds, wanted £400 to change to 240V. However, I was given the above information by a service engineer. I took the lid off with the Torx screws and changed the three dip switches from 1-1-1 to 2-2-2 in around 30 seconds. I was a bit nervous about switching it on but it has now been working perfectly for 3 years, so I must have got it right. The quoted price to do this job by the UK agent falls under the heading "total rip off". I would like to do a similar job on the 2250e.
