In Reply to: Re: Anyone know about the Krell Showcase 5ch amp? posted by kotches on April 29, 2002 at 08:05:14:
Just on the assumption that it is the exact same cost as the old KAV-500, and the KAV-500's price was 5 years or so ago.Plus if we follow the KAV line from before, it will lead us to the current KAV series, which is also more expensive than the Showcase (albeit at a higher power rating.)
But also, looking at the inside of both, the Showcase has a bigger transformer (1.4KW vs 1KW) but less supply capacitance (60,000uF vs ~80,000uF.) Also, it doesn't look like a it has a completely modular design, with what looks like 3 boards supplying 5 channels of amplification. Versus a 1 to 1 ration on the KAV-500.
I am just wondering if the Showcase is the equivalent of Madrigal spinning a new sub-brand Proceed from Mark Levinson or Altair from Krell. We all know what happened with the Altair line.BTW, why isn't the new line based on the same Krell naming convention like Morbius?
