Krell now offers Evolution Series Multi Channel amps! The 2 channel Evolution 2250 sells for $8,000.00 and the 3 channel 3250 is $10,000.00. These outstanding amps offer 250 watts per channel and the great sound quality we have come to expect from Krell.

The 2 channel Evolution 2250 sells for $8,000.00 and the 3 channel 3250 is $10,000.00. These outstanding amps offer 250 watts per channel and the great sound quality we have come to expect from Krell.

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 Krell 707. Now available in 3D!

Coinciding with the growing base of 3D Blu-ray titles and 3D broadcasts, 3D compatibility will be available in all Krell processors with new model names reflecting this upgrade — the Evolution 707 3D, S-1200 3D, and S-1200u 3D.

The 3D version of any of the above mentioned processors will increase the retail price by $1,500.00. The standard version will still be available.

Krell is also offering 3D upgrades for the models mention in this post. Please contact us for details!

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.”

ARES Highlights
Simple but not simplistic, ARES does not require a computer but  uses on screen prompts to guide the user through the automatic setup and equalization process.  ARES analyzes the speakers’ capability, position, phase and distance relationships to determine ideal crossover points, delay, and volume settings. Listening room surfaces, speaker positioning and construction play a pivotal role in the overall sound quality of a system. ARES measures these effects against the inherent performance of the system’s speakers and corrects for irregular surfaces, problematic speaker locations, and unusual floor plans. A 32 bit dual core DSP running at 1.8 giga operations per second computes equalizer filter coefficients and applies individual curves to each of the 8.4 output channels.  A trio of user system memories provides greater flexibility and personalization than other systems on the market.  Instead of an averaged result from various listening positions, three individual listening positions may be measured and optimized rather than compromised by an averaging-style system. Alternatively, system memories may be used for different speaker configurations so that one memory can be optimized for two channel listening with full range front speakers, a second memory for movie playback with a crossover and subwoofers engaged, and a third for casual, full range, all-speaker music listening. After each system memory corrects for room anomalies, an optional music or movie curve can be added to the corrected response for an enhanced listening experience.
The ARES operational range can also be limited to low frequency correction where a majority of sonic irregularities occur. Settings for operation below 63 Hz, 80 Hz, 125 Hz, and 250Hz provide correction in the most troublesome low frequency range while leaving, unaltered, the upper frequency range that helps define a individual speaker’s sonic characteristics.
Krell designed and built the Evolution 707 processor’s hardware and software to operate at the highest level and now with ARES, we have developed a specific tool to help guarantee that performance is realized in our customers’ homes.
The ARES upgrade is free of charge to the hundreds of existing Evolution 707 owners and will be included in new units shipping from the Krell factory. All Evolution 707 processors have shipped with an ultra-linear condenser microphone for use with the anticipated ARES firmware. NOTE: Older Evolution 707 surround processors may require hardware updates prior to receiving the ARES firmware update. Please contact SCI with serial numbers of the units needing upgrade before attempting a firmware upload.
