Krell Evolution 402e

Up for sale is a Krell Evolution 402e amplifier in matte black. The Krell Evolution 402e is a high-end, stereo power amplifier known for its exceptional audio performance, build quality, and technological advancements. It is part of Krell's Evolution series, which is designed to deliver reference-level sound reproduction.

The amp has never been moved, blemish-free, and is housed in a pet-free, children-free, smoking-fee, environment.

I used this on its own to drive the LAT-C, which was incredible but it has more than enough power to drive two mains. 

*Note: I have a custom made Stealth Audio Dream V16 AC cable for this amp that is available. Please inquire if interested.
