In summary:
I love those that yearn for the impossible
The Krell FPB-300c is one of those rare audio
products that are virtually without fault. If it can sound strained or produce ugly sounds
that aren't indigenous to a recording, I certainly wasn't capable of forcing it to do so
-- and I gave it a thorough workout. Still, I suppose a sufficiently dedicated soul could
do so, if he tried hard enough. But why would anyone want to?
I auditioned the Krell FPB-300c with a wide range
of associated gear and it worked like a dream with all of it -- from tube preamp to
$30,000 loudspeakers. It always performed like a trooper, although I have to say that its
CAST technology makes a strong argument for utilizing it in an all-Krell system. However,
audiophiles don't seem to cotton to all-one-brand systems, so it's good news that the
Krell is so versatile.
It is $10,000, however, and there's no getting
around that. It would be great if you could get it cheaper, but its build-quality is
impeccable -- as is its parts quality. Factor in the cost of Krell's construction methods,
which are essentially hand assembly, and it's not hard to see where the money goes.
There are some mighty tasty amplifiers out there
that cost less money. You might possibly even be happy with one of them -- I certainly
could be with quite a few amps in the $4k-$6k range. That money will buy an awfully good
amplifier. But I'd be a liar if I said those amps were as good as the Krell FPB-300c. Is
the difference between the next level down and the FPB-300c vast? No. To get that last bit
of performance, you pay quite a price. But make no mistake, what it buys is real. Are
there amplifiers that can better the FPB-300c? If so, I haven't heard them yet. There are
a few others that come close, or possibly even match it. The bad news is, they cost more.
Some, like the Mark Levinson No.33H, are monoblocks that cost a lot more.
On the other hand, buying the FPB-300c gets you
off the audiophile treadmill. You're done. All you need to do now is sit back and enjoy.
And you will. You will.

Sound
:"Transparent
and effortless in operation" -- "maddeningly difficult to actually hear";
"over the course of an extended audition, I tried to categorize the FPB-300c's
'sound,' but it simply doesn't seem to have one.
Features:
Sustained Plateau
Bias II, which employs microprocessors to monitor not only the signal level, but also the
loudspeaker's impedance; Current Mode Technology allows each output stage of the Sustained
Plateau Bias operation to operate in current mode rather than voltage mode, and CAST takes
advantage of Krell's Current Mode Technology to transmit signal as current.
