2 Chanel Music

Description

Another step in my system's evolution.  I have replaced my Krell KCT with an Esoteric C-03 preamp.  I am also now biamping my B&W 801s with Krell FPB 350MC for highs and FPB 450 MCX for the bass.

The sound and the range is amazing.  Definitely a few steps forward of where I was.

Check out the Chord 1200E amp...
just upgraded from a KAV 250a -- w/ B&W804Ns
Unreal upgrade, system is now world class. Did not have room for
Krell FPB, and Chord has a nice synergy with B&Ws -- now to get the 802Ds!

ps: if you see a used a 1200C for a good price, that would be worth considering IMHO :)-
