If you guys want the best reciever... best amp... best subwoofer and best speakers including center and surroundsound...

check this link out

mind you only for the rich. I read a review about the subwoofer on the website.. 2600 watts rms... the sub is 400 pounds. In this review it said the dudes living room is in the middle of his house and he had the front and back doors open because it was a warm summer day and the compression of the sub closed both of the doors at the same time. lol..Now thats power!!!!

    Power isn't everything.

    There are a few speakers that could be driven by a total of 150 watts (5.1 with sub) that I'd demo first. Especially at that point.

    power is everything to me. that sub is 40000. Yup thats not an error that is exactly what it costs. The case is diamond cut to ensure no port distortion and now to mention it metal because of the crazy compression of it. If you dont believe me of it quality go to
    www.stereophile.com

    Its a magazine that rates hifi speakers and a/v components
    They rated krell extremely high.

    I'm pretty sure the Krell Master Reference Sub is a sealed design (no ports). And it costs $28,000 in other words one big fat rip off! for that kinda cash you could buy EIGHT SVS B4+'s and amps and crush that over priced Krell. heck one B4+ probably bests the Krell!

    Notice the B4+ in some pretty good company at a fraction of the cost!

    Oh boy, have you got a lot to learn. For starters, don't believe everything you read in Stereophool.

    I concur F1nut... Also: Expensive doesn't neccessarily mean good, nor do watts neccessarily mean sonic power (let alone sound good).

    The B4+ or the B-DEAP subs would easily destroy that sub for a fraction of the cost.

    Besides, how much wattage can the b4+ take? Last I saw 2500W was possible without it bottoming out but no would dare turn it up louder. B4+ Review

    The B-DEAP subs are super efficient, horn loaded speakers:
    B-DEAP

    I would take either (With the apropriate amp, eq, etc..) over the Krell in a heartbeat and be in at less than an eigth the cost
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin
