The newest of Krell amplifiers has received what we are sure is only the first of many GREAT reviews.

krell-evolution-402eA 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.”

One of our clients just really put the pedal down on a serious all around upgrade.  We will be installing a Furman IT-Reference-15i Discrete Symmetrical AC Power Source.  This will improve every aspect of the systems performance! How you ask…….

* Discrete symmetrical power with dual screen technology cancels   hum-inducing noise from audio and video
* Power Factor technology provides surplus current for power-starved amplifiers
* Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) for unequaled audio / video clarity
* Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) provides maximum AC surge suppression with Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) and high current TVZ-MOV
* Three HD ready bidirectional coaxial surge suppression modules
* Detachable surge suppression module for telco and cable / satellite connectors

Furman IT-Reference 15i

Furman IT-Reference 15i $1999.00

Today’s AC lines are plagued with ever increasing noise. When AC noise couples into your system’s critical components, it masks low level signals and cripples performance. This low level content is critical because it relays the crucial harmonics and ambience in audio, and the depth and clarity in video. With Furman’s exclusive Linear Filtering Technology, CD players, pre-amplifiers, satellite receivers, and scalers are fed linearly-filtered AC power. This dramatically reduces noise, ensuring consistent peak operation regardless of load conditions or the time of the day. For the first time, you will see and hear your theater or audio system as it should be — uncompromised.

Further, our Discrete Symmetrical Power features total isolation between the filtered-high current outlets, and the isolated symmetrical power AC outlet banks. This positively breaks noise-inducing ground loops, hum bars, and power supply backwash between critical interconnected equipment, all without compromising electrical safety. Furman’s newly refined Dual-Screen Transformers yield the widest bandwidth of noise-reduction possible. This enables the IT-Reference 15i to uncover unprecedented levels of video and audio detail, while insuring that plasmas, LCD screens, or video projectors are free of AC ground contamination from an audio processor or power amplifiers.

The IT-REFERENCE 15i also features comprehensive, virtually maintenance-free protection from voltage spikes and surges. This assures the highest level of AC protection possible, without sacrificing itself when the offending surge is severe — no damaged equipment, no service calls, no down time.

Additionally, the IT-REFERENCE 15i employs our unique Power Factor Technology circuit. With this technology, low-level analog, digital, and video components are not modulated or distorted via the power amplifier’s extreme AC current demands. Instead, the power amplifier sees a highly filtered, extremely low-impedance supply of AC power.

In fact, the IT-REFERENCE 15i has in excess of 4 Amps of continuous current reserve (over 55 amps peak charge) for the most extreme peak power demands. This technology enables power amplifiers and powered subwoofers to operate at peak efficiency and reach levels of performance previously unattainable.

>No longer will your amplifier’s performance be at the mercy of your home’s incoming AC power or inferior AC protection/filtering devices. The net effect is as if your power amplifier virtually doubled in power and improved immeasurably in quality.

When employing the IT-REFERENCE 15i you will immediately notice far clearer, stunningly focused sound and visual images from your system. Video presentation will be crisp and colors true with greater gray and black scale definition, as well as noticeably improved depth and clarity. Sonic transients will be startlingly fast with bass fundamentals that shake foundations with their weight and visceral impact. Mid and high frequencies will bloom with sweet, non-glaring ease while imaging improves dramatically, all the while remaining true to your system’s inherent virtues.

The no frills Custom Theater Series from B&W is all business! This 2 piece subwoofer / amp system has received a lot of attention for it’s performance though!
