The folks at HomeTheater.com had great things to say about the newest Krell amps.
The 2250e’s bass is taut with excellent control, extension and detail, not to mention depth while its high frequency performance is smooth and grain free.

The midrange is also smooth, with tremendous dimension and weight giving vocals, especially female vocals such as Sarah McLachlan’s, a palpable presence.

Soundstage-wise the 2250e possesses a vast and open soundstage that it manages to be enveloping whilst still remaining focused.

Dynamics, another Krell staple, are solid with the 2250e and its power seems limitless regardless of how loud you wish to play your favorite music or how inefficient your favorite speakers.

Even at $18,500 the Krell Evolution 402e is still my favorite amplifier; however at less than half the price I find the 2250e to be that much more impressive in terms of overall value.

While designed primarily for two-channel use, the 2250e excels at playing back cinematic content as well, whether that content is the latest Hollywood blockbuster or something more s1/2ued. Pair the 2250e with its three-channel sibling, the 3250e, and you’ve got a home theater marriage made in heaven.

The Krell Cipher SACD/CD player.

Here is what HIFI Choice had to say:

Krell’s new Cipher is an exceptional digital front-end, giving state-of-the-art replay of conventional CD and SACD formats. It’s via SACD that it really shows its mettle, delivering results that combine stunning clarity with amazing dynamics, plus impressive naturalness and refinement.???

We experienced levels of detail and clarity that no CD player could approach. The Cipher’s ability to separate-out individual voices and instruments is almost uncanny??¦Impressive stuff!???

The Cipher images exceptionally well, creating a broad precisely defined soundstage notable for the solidity of individual voices and instruments. On the right SACD, you get a holographic, almost 3D effect, with impressive width and depth.???

The Cipher’s exceptionally lucid presentation is notable for amazing clarity and astonishing fine detail.???

The Cipher certainly delivers the goods and offers results that will be hard to better, regardless of price.

The NEW PM-1, $2,800.00 per pair seen here with with the PM-1 Stand.

Introducing the NEW Bowers & Wilkins PM1, probably the most refined small speaker yet created. Many of the lessons learned in the development of the 800 Series Diamond have influenced the design of the PM1.It offers an extremely high-quality audio performance and features several key technological innovations, including a new tweeter design and a cabinet unlike anything previously constructed by Bowers & Wilkins.

Foremost among the new technology is the PM1′s Carbon Braced Tweeter. This new design takes the already high performance of Bowers & Wilkins aluminum domes to a whole new level. The tweeter mechanism is mounted on top of the PM1 in the same way as the 800 Series Diamond and uses a Nautilus(tm) tapering tube. However, its high-quality aluminum dome, is strategically stiffened with a ring of filament-wound ultra-high modulus pitch-based carbon fiber.

Sitting below the Carbon Braced Tweeter is what at first appears to be a regular Bowers & Wilkins Kevlar® cone bass/midrange driver, as found on the likes of the well-regarded CM1, and which is renowned for its ability to deliver clarity and detail at mid frequencies. However, the PM1′s drive unit features a new Anti-Resonance Plug: a mushroom-shaped device that is a tight fit inside the voice coil former, helping to damp the motion of the former. This reduces cone break-up, for a smoother, more refined sound, again raising the performance of a key Bowers & Wilkins technology to a new level of performance.

The construction of the cabinet is critical in any loudspeaker, but especially so in a mini monitor. Internally, the PM1 uses the Bowers & Wilkins Matrix(tm) bracing system, for improved rigidity. This is a vital element in producing a large sound from a compact loudspeaker. The striking front baffle and top panel is also a key element in the PM1′s refined performance. The shape echoes the profile of the ‘head’ unit used on the 800 Diamond and 802 Diamond, and improves image localization. A layer of mineral-filled resin is poured in liquid form to the back of the outer thermoset profile, where it sets to create a dual-layer composite that combines high mass with damping for an impressively inert construction.

Lots of technology in a georgous package!!

In response to repeated requests from the market, Dynaudio decided to re-issue the Special Twenty-Five for a limited period of time. This latest edition is similar to the very first, but in celebration of Dynaudio North America’s 15-Year Anniversary, the North American market re-issue of the original anniversary model will be a limited run of 75 pairs finished inan exclusive Bordeaux stained, gloss over bird’s eye maple veneer featuring a
signed solid aluminum back plate and a 15 year warranty.

Dynaudio Special Twenty-Five

Special Twenty-Five Product Highlights

Equipped with the most advanced Dynaudio driver technology like the first edition, the Special Twenty-Five is equipped with the finest Dynaudio driver technology: The legendary Esotar² tweeter with neodymium magnet and vented rear chamber, mated to a 20 cm (8 inch) woofer. This driver is a technical descendant to the driver in Dynaudio’s unparalleled flagship Evidence Master model. Equally advanced is the 1st order crossover, using select components on a glass fibre enforced PCB.

High-quality ceramic resistors are mechanically and thermally stabilized by the cabinet’s aluminum back plate. With all this technology, the Special Twenty-Five performance delivers the substantial sonic impact of a floor standing loudspeaker with the homogenous balance and precise imaging characteristic of a fine two-way compact speaker. With an excellent sensitivity of 88 dB and a linear impedance,the Special Twenty-Five offers an ideal match for a very wide range of high-quality amplifiers.

The finest in technology.

Exclusive Bordeaux finish
The exclusive Special Twenty-Five re-issue for North America will feature a limited Bordeaux finished (gloss lacquer over bird’s eye maple veneer) cabinet, master crafted by hand in the Dynaudio cabinetry facility in Denmark. The classic yet advanced cabinet construction is comprised of multi-layered low resonance MDF/LDF wood panels with an overall thickness of 30 mm, additionally braced in specific areas.

The rear of the cabinet is equipped with a solid aluminum back plate, carrying the name of the loudspeaker and the signature of Dynaudio co-founder and CEO Wilfried Ehrenholz commemorating the 25th anniversary of Dynaudio marking the year when this venerable model was first introduced as well as the 15th anniversary of Dynaudio North America which this re-issue honors.

And a specacular cabinet and finish.

The final re-issue — available for a limited time only

Because of the extensive time and effort to produce a Special Twenty-Five, along with the limited availability of only 75 pair produced in the exclusive Bordeaux finish, the 2010 re-issue of this model will only be available for a short period of time. With this re-issue, Dynaudio enthusiasts will have one last chance to acquire one of the market’s most revered high-end compact loudspeakers in its original anniversary version.

The Special Twenty Five will begin shipping in September and is priced at $5,750 per pair.

A few quotes from Andrew Robinson of Home Theater Review:

“The 402e’s ability to recreate – scratch that – transform ones listening environment into the venue or recording space is uncanny and begs belief.”

“I walked away from my listening session simply amazed at how Krell was able to turn an already solid amplifier in the 402 into an amp that bordered on otherworldly with the 402e. No matter what the genre or volume level, the 402e never ceased to amaze.”
