New Krell Amps.

Wow, the placement of the input/output connectors is lame. With all that real estate on the back, you would think they could spread them out a bit.

Fans? No thanks.
 
How can you have "energy efficient" Class A amplifiers if they are truly Class A?

They are using a 'new' type of adaptive or sliding bias, which is claimed to maintain Class A operation by adjusting the output transistor bias in real time. Whether this is considered "true Class A" is likely to be debated!
 
My old Soulution 710 had a big fan. You generally can't hear them at seated position. I don't like them though because they can collect a lot of dust.
 
I think the evo amps look better. I don't understand the silver lump in the front. Either it's black or it's silver but don't make it both.
 
They had recently hired an industrial designer from Emotiva.
 
emotiva may even look better and that's not a compliment. fwiw, the first krells all had fans, maybe they're regressing as a co. in more ways than one.

looks like cheap shite made in China.

I am starting to like the new Bully amps in comparison :)

I am with the majority though : Both the New krell and the Bully Sound amps designs are misses...
 
2 X 175 watts = $7500

5 X 200 watts = $7500

they look a little like Ampzillas now.

i remember when Levinson tried fans- that didn't work either. Funny how Krell and Levinson's "day" seems so long ago.
 
I think the EVOs are VERY good amps. These look shaky to me but that doesn't mean I think they'll be shaky in the sound department.

I have a pretty quiet room. I don't see myself having anything with fans except the HVAC anytime soon.
